In Karachi, the Sindh Government has expanded the People’s Bus Service fleet by introducing 30 state-of-the-art buses with the goal of improving public transportation for local residents. This recent fleet expansion includes 30 Yutong-Master’s Diesel Electric Hybrid Buses, demonstrating the government’s commitment to advancing modern and eco-friendly transportation solutions.
The Sindh Mass Transit Authority (SMTA) announced this positive development, stating, “Good news for Karachi residents with the addition of 30 modern buses to the existing People’s Bus Service fleet.” They also shared images of the newly added green-colored Yutong buses, featuring the label “Green Energy” and imagery of trees, symbolizing the emphasis on promoting environmentally friendly energy and conservation.
In May, SMTA had previously informed the public about the impending arrival of a new fleet of Diesel Electric Hybrid Buses in Karachi. They noted that this bus model had already arrived in the city. During a key-handing over ceremony, representatives from Yutong Master presented the key of the inaugural Diesel-Electric Hybrid City Bus to the then Sindh Minister for Transport for the People’s Bus Service. Yutong Master expressed their anticipation that this particular model would significantly impact the intra-city bus segment, much like their previous contributions to revolutionizing Pakistan’s bus market. The company also pledged to introduce international standards in Pakistan, ensuring the implementation of best practices in product support.
