PML-N President Nawaz Sharif has approved the Gujranwala Mass Transit Project during a high-level meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and Defense Minister Khawaja Asif. Speaking in his capacity as party president, Nawaz Sharif emphasized that the residents of Gujranwala have long awaited a modern and efficient transport system, noting that such a project should have been implemented years ago. He praised the Punjab government’s ongoing development efforts and highlighted that the new initiatives would enhance public mobility while supporting economic growth in the region.
Punjab Transport Minister Bilal Akbar provided detailed insights into the project, explaining that the Gujranwala Mass Transit system will cover over 30 kilometers, stretching from Eminabad to Gakkhar. Once operational, the system is expected to serve more than 51,000 passengers daily, offering a reliable and modern travel solution for the city’s residents.
The project will feature a fleet of 40 electric articulated buses, ensuring an environmentally friendly and comfortable commuting experience. By introducing clean and efficient transport options, the initiative represents a significant step toward modernizing public transportation in one of Punjab’s largest cities and addressing the growing demand for sustainable urban mobility.
