Murree Launches Eco-Friendly Electric Cart Service For Tourists in 2025. Murree, the crown jewel of Pakistan’s hill stations, is stepping into the future of sustainable tourism. In September 2025, the Punjab Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) unveiled its brand-new eco-friendly electric cart “City Tour” service at the iconic Kashmir Point, offering tourists a convenient and green way to explore the scenic beauty of the region. This initiative aligns perfectly with CM Maryam Nawaz’s vision to modernize Murree and make it a world-class tourist hub.
Eco-Friendly Electric Carts: A Sustainable Solution
The newly launched electric cart service is designed to reduce traffic congestion and environmental pollution on Murree’s crowded pathways. These carts operate silently and emit zero emissions, providing a serene and eco-conscious travel experience for families, solo travelers, and international tourists alike.
Key Features of Murree Electric Carts:
- Battery-powered for zero emissions
- Comfortable seating for 4–6 passengers
- Convenient pick-up and drop-off points at Kashmir Point
- Affordable pricing for local and foreign tourists
- GPS-enabled for guided city tours
The electric cart service not only makes travel easier but also supports Murree’s environmental conservation efforts, ensuring the hill station retains its natural charm for future generations.
PTDC Vision: Modernizing Murree Tourism
The electric cart initiative is part of a broader plan by PTDC under the leadership of Managing Director Asim Raza and the directives of CM Maryam Nawaz. The government has fast-tracked multiple projects aimed at revitalizing Murree’s tourism infrastructure.
