In a significant step toward revolutionizing public transportation in Karachi, the Sindh government has unveiled the eagerly anticipated “Peoples Bus Service.” This innovative addition to Karachi’s transportation infrastructure poised to offer efficient and accessible transit options, with a primary focus on its electric bus route, EV-1.
The People’s Bus Service boasts a fleet of modern air-conditioned red buses, each with a seating capacity of around 40 passengers, including dedicated areas for women. Moreover, these buses provide standing room for an additional 40 commuters. With affordability in mind, the standard fare for most routes set at PKR 50. However, it’s worth noting that Route 9 charges a slightly higher fare of PKR 100 after Malir Halt.
