Overview
- The People’s Bus Service between Shikarpur and Sukkur, which launched Friday, carries a 50% fare subsidy paid by the Sindh government.
- The Sindh Transportation and Mass Transit Authority put six diesel‑hybrid buses on the 33‑kilometre route via Lakhi Ghulam Shah.
- A government event in Sukkur distributed free pink electric scooters to women, with helmets, driving licences and training provided at no cost.
- Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said Hyderabad is next for scooter distribution, with new People’s Bus Service links planned for Khairpur–Rohri, Khairpur–Ranipur and Hyderabad corridors.
- Officials cast the measures as a PPP social program to cut travel costs and widen access to jobs and education, alongside separate subsidies for motorcycle riders and small farmers.
