HYDERABAD: New bus route announced to improve city travel
HYDERABAD: The Sindh government will launch a new Peoples Bus Service route in Hyderabad after Eid al Adha 2026, aiming to improve daily travel for commuters. According to Beyond Time News, the new route will strengthen public transport links between busy city areas.
Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced the decision while speaking in the Sindh Assembly. He confirmed that the new route will connect Latifabad with Hyder Chowk, two major points in the city with heavy passenger traffic.
He also said the government plans to expand the bus network further once more buses become available. However, he explained that some Karachi routes remain on hold due to a shortage of buses.
New routes depend on availability of buses
Sharjeel Memon said the government will introduce more routes as soon as new buses arrive. He stressed that the administration is working to improve transport access across Sindh step by step.
He also directed officials to ensure buses stop only at proper bus stops. He warned that illegal stopping points often create traffic problems and lead to conflicts between passengers and drivers.
He added that some incidents of window damage also occur when disputes arise during unauthorized stops.
Sindh focuses on modern transport system
The Sindh government continues to upgrade its transport system in major cities, including Karachi and Hyderabad. Officials say ongoing development work aims to make travel easier and more reliable for the public.
The government has also approved the purchase of 500 electric buses. Officials will acquire these buses through a public-private partnership model to modernize the transport network.
Sharjeel Memon said electric buses will improve travel comfort and reduce air pollution in urban areas.
Earlier, the government launched a new EV bus route in Karachi between Gulshan-e-Maymar and Tower, marking another step toward cleaner public transport.
Public transport expansion aims to ease travel problems
Officials believe the expansion of the Peoples Bus Service will reduce travel difficulties for thousands of passengers. The service mainly supports middle- and lower-income groups who depend on public transport every day.
