In a move to improve public transportation, the provincial administration introduced a fresh fleet of People’s Bus Service in Karachi. The announcement was made by Sharjeel Inam Memon, the Minister for Information and Transport, on his official Twitter account.
Real-Time Tracking and Convenience with Smartphone App
The newly launched smartphone app has significantly enriched the PBS experience for commuters. For iPhone and Android users, this app comes as a handy tool, enabling them to track buses in real-time, access bus fares, timings, and other essential information.
The government is actively preparing to launch e-taxis and is making rapid progress on the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, which will be Pakistan’s first BRT system operating on biogas.
