KARACHI, Nov 06 (APP):In a major step to strengthen urban security, the Sindh government has decided to connect the indoor and outdoor cameras of the People’s Bus Service and EV Taxi Service to the Safe City Network.
Sindh’s Senior Minister and Minister for Information, Transport, and Mass Transit, Sharjeel Inam Memon, said that integrating the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) with the Safe City Project will not only make the public transport system safer but also enhance security and traffic management in urban areas through modern technology.
He added that once the cameras are integrated, security monitoring, traffic control, and public safety measures will significantly improve in Karachi and other major cities.
Sharjeel Inam Memon said the Sindh government was taking active steps to launch the modern EV Taxi Service in December to provide citizens with affordable, safe, and environmentally friendly travel options.
A delegation of investors met the senior minister in Karachi to discuss the project. The meeting was also attended by Transport Secretary Asad Zamin, Sindh Mass Transit Authority Managing Director Kanwal Nizam Bhutto, and other officials. Investors shared proposals on the project’s structure, the establishment of charging stations, and operating models.
Speaking at the meeting, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that a modern transport system is urgently needed in a large city like Karachi. He noted that the government aims to launch the EV Taxi Service by December to offer citizens a modern and efficient alternative to traditional transport.
The service will provide comfortable and safe travel at low fares, and the project is expected to attract strong investor interest. Initially, the service will be launched in Karachi and later expanded to other major cities.
Sharjeel Inam Memon also said that a Pink EV Taxi Service will be introduced exclusively for women to ensure safe and comfortable travel for female passengers.
The EV Taxi Service will feature advanced Intelligent Transport System (ITS) and monitoring technology to maintain efficiency, transparency, and safety and will be connected to Safe City Network.
He added that the Sindh government values partnerships with the private sector to promote sustainable transport and environmental improvement. The EV Taxi Project, he said, will not only enhance public convenience but also contribute to the province’s economic development.
