Under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s project, another fleet of 100 state-of-the-art electric buses has been dispatched from Shanghai Seaport to Pakistan. These buses are expected to arrive in Punjab within a few weeks.

Sharing the news on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Maryam Nawaz announced that the fare for these buses has been fixed at only Rs20 so that ordinary citizens can access affordable and comfortable travel facilities.

The electric buses will be fully air-conditioned and equipped with an internal climate control system. To ensure women’s safety, each bus will have advanced CCTV monitoring to prevent harassment and provide a secure environment for passengers.

According to the Chief Minister, by December 2025, these buses will begin operating in every district of Punjab. This marks not only a major step in modern public transport but also a move toward an eco-friendly solution.

Officials added that the new transport system will provide convenient travel while also helping reduce environmental pollution significantly.

This initiative by Maryam Nawaz signals a transformative step in Punjab’s public transport system. By setting the fare at just Rs20, the government has targeted affordability for the working class while simultaneously offering modern comfort and safety features.

The project also addresses growing environmental concerns by promoting electric mobility, which can reduce pollution and dependency on fuel. The inclusion of CCTV for women’s safety adds a socially responsible dimension that builds trust among passengers.

If implemented on time, with 100 buses arriving soon and province-wide operations by December 2025, this scheme could become a model for affordable, safe, and green public transport in Pakistan. It combines accessibility with sustainability — a rare but much-needed move for urban development.
