The Sindh government has announced that Karachi’s public transport network will be expanded in January 2026 with the addition of five double-decker buses and 34 electric buses. The move aims to enhance urban mobility and provide commuters with more sustainable and efficient travel options.
The minister confirmed that fares for the new double-decker service will be the same as those of the existing People’s Bus Service. He also revealed that discussions with Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah are underway to expand the fleet and extend the service area in the near future.
Memon highlighted that double-decker buses are more space-efficient and can help ease traffic congestion in the city.
In addition, he announced that passengers will now be able to use a single card to travel on both the Orange Line and Green Line BRT services. This makes Karachi the first city in Pakistan with a unified BRT card system covering multiple lines.
The transport minister reiterated the provincial government’s commitment to improving public transport facilities and enhancing convenience for commuters.
Addressing delays in the Red Line BRT project, Memon said that several issues had slowed its completion, but the chief minister has now resolved them, and work on the project is progressing rapidly.
