The Punjab government is preparing to launch Pakistan's inaugural app-based electric motorbike rental service in Lahore to address persistent transportation gaps and severe air quality issues. The initial phase of this Green Mobility Programme involves deploying 10,000 electric bikes alongside 300 charging and docking stations throughout the city. Users will be able to access these vehicles via a mobile application, with stations strategically located near public transit hubs to assist students and commuters. Officials emphasize that the initiative aims to lower carbon emissions, reduce traffic congestion, and alleviate the financial burden of fuel costs. To ensure safety and compliance, the service will strictly prohibit minors from registering on the platform. Multiple provincial agencies are collaborating to finalize the infrastructure requirements and secure formal approval for the project.
This initiative represents a significant shift toward sustainable urban mobility in a major metropolitan area struggling with both smog and inefficient public transit.
