Chairing a meeting, Sindh Transport Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon tackled Karachi’s transport challenges by introducing additional routes for the service.

The meeting, which included elected MPAs from Karachi, the deputy mayor, and other officials, decided to inaugurate new routes in Malir, Kemari, Lyari, and District West. One of these new routes will run from Numaish to Hawkes Bay.

Sharjeel Memon emphasized the government’s dedication to improving public transport for city residents by expanding the network. In a prior transport department meeting, the minister received a comprehensive briefing on the construction of various BRTs, traffic signals, the reconstruction of bus terminals, and the creation of a U-turn for the People’s Bus Service.

Last month, the Automated Fare Collection System for the People’s Bus Service was launched. The Sindh transport department held a launch ceremony at a local hotel, showcasing the prepaid card’s features such as contactless payment, reloadable balance, and compatibility with various transit systems. Initially, this system has been installed on buses running from Model Colony to Tower and from Gulshan-i-Hadeed to Tower.
