Second phase of Pink Scooty Scheme to begin soon

Sindh govt plans program expansion to boost safe, independent travel for women, says Sharjeel

Building on its successful September debuts, the Sindh government has announced the start of the second phase of the Pink Scooty Scheme, Senior Provincial Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has confirmed.

The provincial government will soon begin distributing the scooters under the program’s next phase, urging women to obtain driving licenses, partake in training courses, and register for the initiative.

Sharjeel noted that the provincial government hopes to expand the program, helping women regain control over their mobility and independence so that more women may travel safely, with dignity, as they pursue their education and careers.

“The first phase of the Pink Scooty Scheme received an overwhelming response from the public,” Sharjeel noted. “Dozens of women learned to drive, obtained licences, and began using Pink Scooties for their daily commute”.

Highlighting broader public transport initiatives, Sharjeel said projects such as the People’s Bus Service, Pink Bus Service, Electric Bus Service, and now the Pink Scooty Scheme have all been designed to provide affordable, safe, and dignified travel options for the people of Karachi.

“Empowering women is not just a government project,” Sharjeel added, “it is part of the Pakistan People’s Party’s social and political philosophy. Women’s empowerment remains a cornerstone of the party’s ideological journey – a continuation of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto’s vision”.
