ISLAMABAD
\nThe Sindh provincial government launched a new route for the People\u2019s Bus Service between Shikarpur and Sukkur, marking a significant step in the expansion of its modern transport network.
\nThe service, featuring Chinese-built buses, was inaugurated by Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon as a \u201cgift for the people\u201d of the region, Gwadar Pro reported.
\nAt the inauguration ceremony, Memon emphasized that the initiative reflects the strengthening Pakistan-China cooperation in the field of urban mobility and public services.
\nHe highlighted that the fleet, which is manufactured using Chinese technology, offers safe, air-conditioned, and affordable transportation options for residents.
\n\u201cThis service belongs to the people, and it is their responsibility to protect it,\u201d Memon stated, urging citizens to ensure its proper usage and upkeep.
\nThe newly launched route, spanning approximately 33 kilometers via Lakhi Ghulam Shah, is part of Sindh\u2019s broader efforts to modernize its transport infrastructure through international collaborations, particularly with China.
\nThis service aims to address long-standing transportation challenges in the region by offering environmentally efficient and comfortable commuting alternatives. In an effort to make the service more accessible, the Sindh government will subsidize 50 percent of the fare, benefiting low- and middle-income commuters while promoting sustainable urban mobility practices inspired by Chinese transport models.
\nMemon also highlighted that under the leadership of the Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP), headed by Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, there is a continued commitment to expanding such services across Sindh. He further mentioned that the provincial government is implementing additional measures, such as subsidies for motorcyclists, financial assistance for farmers, and the distribution of free solar panels, alongside reforms in the transport sector.
\nThe expansion of the People\u2019s Bus Service is seen as part of a broader initiative to integrate Chinese transportation solutions into Pakistan\u2019s urban development, aiming to enhance connectivity and boost economic activity, particularly in secondary cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
