Maryam Nawaz expands Green Bus services to three more areas

Maryam Nawaz announces new transport facilities

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif announced the expansion while addressing a ceremony in Jhelum on November 10. The event was held to distribute Honhaar Scholarships and laptops among students.

She said the provincial government was working to bring better facilities to smaller towns instead of focusing only on major cities. She added that more people would benefit from improved public transport as the Green Bus network continued to grow.

Green Bus services expand beyond major cities

Maryam Nawaz said the government was also providing Green Bus services in smaller cities, including Khushab, Layyah and Bhakkar. She noted that these areas were receiving transport facilities similar to those available in Lahore and Rawalpindi.

The latest announcement means that Dina, Sohawa and Pind Dadan Khan will also become part of the expanding public transport network. The new services are scheduled to begin in January 2027.

Students to continue travelling free

The chief minister also highlighted the free travel facility for students across Punjab. She said students could use Green Buses without paying fares, making daily travel easier and reducing their transport expenses.

The facility is expected to help students who travel regularly to schools, colleges and other educational institutions. It is also part of the provincial government's efforts to make public transport more accessible.

The expansion of Green Bus services could make daily travel easier for people living in smaller towns. However, regular bus services, proper routes and timely operations will be important to ensure that residents receive the full benefit.
