Sindh Minister for Transport Sharjeel Inam Memon explained that, for now, the buses will run on a limited route from Sharea Faisal to Malir. The trial will help authorities assess public response and operational needs.

Sharjeel Memon said fares for the double-decker buses will be the same as the People’s Bus Service. This means passengers will not have to pay extra for the new service.

He added that talks have already been held with Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah to expand the project. More double-decker buses and routes may be added in the future. The transport minister said double-decker buses save road space and can help reduce traffic congestion in the city. He described them as a practical solution for busy urban roads.

Memon also announced that commuters can now travel on both the Orange Line and Green Line BRT using a single card. He said this makes Karachi Pakistan’s “first” city to run multiple BRT lines with one unified card. He said the provincial government remains committed to improving public transport and making daily travel easier for citizens.

The minister admitted that delays occurred in the Red Line BRT project due to several issues. He said these problems have now been “resolved” by the chief minister, and work has picked up speed.
