A pink cab service for women will soon be introduced in Karachi, according to Sindh Transport Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon.
Memon said during his interview with the media that the Sindh Mass Transit Authority (SMTA) will regulate the pink taxi service in Karachi. The fee would be fixed between Rs. 200 and Rs. 500, and women will operate these cabs, which have cameras for optimal safety and security.
The government of Sindh’s proposal is comparable to the free women-only bus service Gilgit-Baltistan launched in October.
The pink bus service was officially launched by Gilgit-Chief Baltistan’s Minister, Khalid Khursheed. Between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 to 9:00 a.m., the service travels four significant routes in Gilgit and Skardu.
He stated that the service would launch in two parts, with cabs colored blue and pink. In comparison to normal taxi and ride-hailing services, he continued, electric taxi services would be safer, more economical, and more pleasant for the city’s residents.
Additionally, to make the recently launched Orange Bus Rapid Transit Service (BRTS) a financially sustainable mass transit service, the Sindh Information and Transport Minister stated that the government will connect it with the Green Line BRTS.
Memon said that the government was taking steps to improve public transit alternatives in Karachi and other significant regions of the province. He forecast that the provincial capital will undergo radical changes shortly.
