The Electro Buses are equipped with Wi-Fi, mobile charging ports, CCTV cameras, and separate compartments for women. Additional seating has been reserved for senior citizens and differently-abled passengers. To keep the service accessible, the fare has been fixed at Rs. 20 per ride.
Charging stations have already been set up across the city to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operations. Authorities say the initiative reflects the government’s broader push to modernize urban mobility and cut down air pollution.
With this launch, Faisalabad officially joins the growing list of Pakistani cities embracing sustainable transport solutions, positioning itself as a model for future public mobility projects.
