(Web Desk): Punjab Green electric bus service has been suspended on several routes in Mianwali after a power failure disrupted the charging terminal.

The Punjab Green electric bus service has been suspended on several routes in Mianwali, leaving commuters facing difficulties in reaching their destinations.

According to sources, the service was disrupted after the electricity system at the electric bus charging terminal stopped working. As a result, the buses could not recharge and operations were suspended on different routes.

The sudden stoppage has created problems for passengers waiting at various bus terminals. Many commuters have reportedly been forced to look for alternative transport to continue their journeys.

Passengers face transport problems

The suspension has particularly affected people who rely on the Green electric buses for daily travel. With the buses unavailable, commuters are facing additional inconvenience and may have to depend on other public transport options.

 

 

The disruption has also created an opportunity for private public transport operators, as passengers are turning to alternative services.

Citizens demand quick restoration

Citizens have urged the authorities to immediately restore the electricity supply at the charging terminal and resume the Green electric bus service.

Residents said the buses have become an important transport option for people travelling between different areas of Mianwali. They called for the technical issue to be resolved without further delay to prevent continued disruption.

The latest suspension also highlights the importance of reliable charging infrastructure for electric public transport services. Any prolonged power disruption can affect the availability of buses across multiple routes.

Authorities are expected to restore the charging system and resume operations once the electricity issue is resolved. Until then, commuters have been advised to make alternative travel arrangements.
