People's Air Conditioned Bus Service Karachi Update:


The Sindh government has launched a new public transportation service called the People’s Bus Service in Karachi. The buses are air conditioned and cheap as well. People's Air Conditioned Bus Service Karachi.

Pakistan’s coastal metropolis, Karachi and its citizens will now be able to enjoy a new bus service for their local commute called People’s Bus Service. This service was launched by the Sindh Government in collaboration with Daewoo. People's Air Conditioned Bus Service Karachi.


The ceremony to launch the buses took place at the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board office. People's Air Conditioned Bus Service Karachi.

Chundrigar Road, Tower. People's Air Conditioned Bus Service Karachi.


The buses have started operation from 18th April 2018.



Speaking on the occasion, the minister for Transport, Labour and Information Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said more buses would be added to the fleet of the company, Daewoo, which was successfully operating its business in Lahore and Multan.
He added:
“The company will not ask for financial help from the government for providing 50 buses for the city initially."
The minister further said work on Green, Orange, Blue, Yellow and Red lines was going on and the reasons for any kind of delay will be addressed.

About the circular railway project, he said it would soon be operational.

Mr. Shah further said the mayor was the vice chairman of the Sindh Mass Transit Authority and was committed with the government to provide quality transport to the citizens.

The minister couple of days ago told the Sindh cabinet that the fare slab for operation of the 10 AC buses on intra-city routes had been proposed in consultation with all the stakeholders at Rs20 for less than five kilometres, Rs30 for five to 15km and Rs40 for 15km and above.

Karachi is Pakistan’s largest metropolis with a population of more than 16 million people. Surely, 10 buses on a singular route do not suffice the city’s transportation needs as most of the citizens rely on public transportation.
