Earlier this month, the PPP leader announced a new environment-friendly electric bus service for the people of Karachi.
These buses are capable of covering a distance of 240 kilometres on a charge of 20 minutes.
He said that the buses would be charged via solar energy and the company responsible for the project would also set up charging centres.
The minister said that the fare of electric buses will be less than the Red Buses, adding that the project would also be extended to other major cities of Sindh.
