Some Innovative Measures of Safety and Ease of Travel
For the safety and comfort of transportation facilities, different innovative measures have been taken in this bus. To ensure the safety of passengers, an anti-slip sheet has been used on the floor of the bus that reduces the possibility of any kind of accident during the journey. Moreover, 9 specific charging stations have also been erected within the bus so that there would be no obstacle in charging buses. Another feature which is the highlight of this bus service is that each bus will have a women’s compartment where women would get safety as well as ease while traveling in buses. Harassment in buses is always a controversial issue. This bus service ensures no such thing would happen due to installation of cameras inside every bus for keeping track of each passenger.

The Electric Bus Route and Starting
A 21-kilometer route in Lahore will launch the electric bus service, operating 27 buses on this route. The regular start of the buses on the route from Lahore Railway Station to Green Town would be in mid-February, modernizing Lahore’s transport services and providing its citizens with a fast, safe, and environmentally friendly transportation solution.
Digital Fare Payment System
Another significant facility that has been introduced in this electric bus service is a digital fare-paying system. Passengers have the facility of paying bus fares using a digital wallet or digital card, so it would not only facilitate easy journeys but would also save time and hassle during the cash transaction process.
Installation of Solar Fans and Water Coolers
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has also ordered reviewing the installation of solar fans and water coolers at bus stands. These steps have been taken to help passengers at the bus stands have an easy environment. Water coolers will help the passengers with water, and solar fans will prevent them from feeling the heat of the sun.

Review of Installation of Safe City Cameras
The other important measure that the Chief Minister has adopted is the establishment of Safe City Cameras at all bus stands. Not only do these cameras benefit the safety of passengers, but through them, it will become easier to catch any accident or crime. So, the public transport system of Lahore will also become safer through these cameras.
Environmental Benefits and Future Plans
The electric bus service will assist the city in saving the environment and will greatly reduce the air pollution of Lahore. In fact, electric buses consume electricity to run instead of oil or diesel, which reduces the amount of damaging gases present in the environment. This project will definitely be an important step towards making Lahore a clean and green city. In the future, the Punjab government is going to introduce more electric buses and will expand this service to other cities. This would not only enhance transport facilities but also their economic development and improvement in environmental terms.
