Karachi: In a major initiative to revamp the city’s transport network, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has announced the procurement of 50 new double-decker buses for Karachi under the People’s Bus Service. This plan aims to address Karachi’s evolving transit needs by adding affordable and comfortable travel options for daily commuters.
The announcement followed a meeting on Tuesday, attended by Director Soheb Shafiq, People’s Bus Service Manager Operations Abdul Shakoor, and other senior officials, where Memon directed the Mass Transit Authority to accelerate the procurement process. He highlighted that the introduction of double-decker buses would mark a significant step toward modernizing Karachi’s urban transportation system and alleviating pressure on the existing transit infrastructure.
“We are committed to transforming Karachi’s public transport. By providing double-decker buses, we aim to enhance the experience for citizens, making urban travel more efficient and accessible,” Memon stated. He also emphasized the need for swift implementation, instructing relevant departments to prioritize the development of bus stations and ensure seamless integration of the new buses into the People’s Bus Service.
Once operational, these new buses are expected to improve connectivity across the city, offering a comfortable and dependable transport solution to Karachi’s population. The Sindh government sees this project as an important step toward addressing Karachi’s growing mobility demands and improving overall commuter satisfaction.
