The Punjab government has officially launched a new electric bus service connecting Rawalpindi and Murree, providing tourists and daily commuters with a cleaner, more comfortable, and environmentally friendly mode of transportation.

The initiative is aimed at improving travel to Murree, one of Pakistan’s most visited hill stations, while promoting sustainable public transport and reducing carbon emissions. The electric buses are expected to offer passengers a modern, safe, and efficient travel experience throughout the year.

Officials said the new service will not only strengthen connectivity between Rawalpindi and Murree but also help ease traffic congestion on one of the province’s busiest tourist routes. By encouraging the use of electric public transport, the government aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and support its broader environmental and climate goals.

The project forms part of Punjab’s ongoing efforts to modernize its public transportation network through clean energy solutions while enhancing accessibility for residents and visitors. Authorities believe the service will contribute to sustainable tourism by providing reliable transport to thousands of travelers visiting Murree each year.

The launch reflects Punjab’s commitment to expanding green mobility initiatives, improving passenger convenience, and building an environmentally responsible transport system for the future.
