Sharjeel Inam Memon, Sindh’s senior minister, just dropped solid news. A brand-new electric bus route is launching. It runs from Gulshan-i-Maymar to Tower. Fifteen electric buses will operate on this line. They’re quiet, clean, and ready to make daily commutes better.
No more sitting in traffic behind smoke-belching vans. These buses run on electricity. That means less pollution. Less heat. Cleaner air for everyone in Karachi. It’s a small step, but it adds up.
The Bridge Is Done
In the same transport meeting, officials confirmed the Taj Haider Bridge on the Yellow Line BRT is complete. It opens soon. This bridge fixes a major choke point. Once it’s live, buses will move faster. Commuters will save time. The whole BRT system gets a real boost.
More Electric Vehicles Coming
Sindh isn’t stopping with buses. The government is expanding electric mobility across the province. More EV buses are being added to the fleet. And here’s something new: Sindh’s first electric taxi service will start by December.
Think about that. You’ll soon be able to book a ride in a silent, zero-emission cab. Drivers pay less for fuel. Passengers breathe easier. It’s a practical change, not just a plan on paper.
Why This Feels Different
Memon didn’t just read a script. He spoke like someone who gets it. Karachi traffic is brutal. Air quality is bad. People need options that work. These 15 buses? They’re the start. The bridge? It’s proof that things are moving. The electric taxis? That’s the future arriving early.
This isn’t about flashy launches or empty slogans. It’s about getting people home faster and cutting smog, saving money. One route, one bridge, one taxi at a time.
