MIANWALI (Web Desk): In a major boost for public transport in Punjab, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif will officially launch the electric bus service in Mianwali on September 15, 2025.

The new service will run on key routes including Daud Khel, Bin Hafiz Ji, and Wan Bhachran, offering affordable, eco-friendly, and modern transport to the people of the region.

This launch marks another milestone in the provincial government s mission to modernize transportation in previously underserved districts.

What’s Special About the Service?

  •  Fixed fare: Just Rs. 20
  • Air-conditioned buses
  •  Free WiFi onboard
  •  Automated ticketing system
  • Facilities for people with disabilities

The project is being managed by the Punjab Transport Company under the government s broader vision for green mobility.

More Electric Buses Coming to Punjab:

CM Maryam Nawaz had earlier revealed that 100 more electric buses are on their way from Yantai Port, China, and will soon be deployed across Punjab.

Upcoming cities to get electric buses include:

  • Okara
  • Nankana Sahib
  • Muzaffargarh
  • Vehari
  • Pakpattan
  • Dera Ghazi Khan

This move is a game-changer for small cities like Mianwali, which have long lacked reliable and affordable public transport.

At just Rs. 20, residents will get modern, clean, and accessible travel options, something previously only seen in major urban centers.

With free WiFi, air conditioning, and disability support, the government is clearly aiming to set new standards for public transit in Pakistan.

If this model is successful, it could pave the way for a province-wide transformation in how people travel, while also promoting environmental sustainability and cutting down fuel consumption.
