Environmental expert Muneer Ahmed said the electric buses will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment. “We have been advocating for eco-friendly transportation solutions for years, and it’s heartening to see the government taking concrete steps in this direction,” he stated.
A commuter Ameen Faheem said, “The electric bus is a game-changer for me adding that I can finally enjoy a peaceful commute without the noise and pollution of traditional buses.”
Electric buses can significantly improve public health by reducing exposure to air pollutants and noise pollution.
Civil society members, however, emphasized the need for a comprehensive plan to ensure the success of the initiative, including the establishment of a reliable charging infrastructure and the training of drivers.
