(Web Desk): Sindh government has launched People’s Bus Service between Shikarpur and Sukkur to improve travel and make daily commuting easier for the public.

The Government of Sindh has officially started this service to help people travel comfortably between the two cities. Officials say the move is part of a larger plan to upgrade public transport across the province. The new route promises better connectivity and convenience for passengers.

Senior minister Sharjeel Inam Memon inaugurated the service and said it has been introduced for public use. He also urged commuters to take care of the buses and use the facility responsibly.

He explained that the fare system will be shared between the government and passengers. The provincial government will pay half the cost, while commuters will pay the remaining amount.

During the event, Memon highlighted several initiatives taken by the Pakistan Peoples Party. These include projects related to transport, subsidies, and support for agriculture.

He said the government had introduced financial help for motorcyclists after fuel prices increased. Farmers were also given subsidies, including support for fertilizers and threshing.

This service can make travel cheaper and easier for many people. If managed well, it could improve daily life and save time. But its success depends on maintenance and public cooperation.
