The Balochistan government has launched the Green Bus Service in Turbat, making it the second city in the province where the public transport system has been introduced.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti described the Green Bus Service as a gift for the people of Turbat and said the initiative aims to improve travel facilities for residents.
According to the chief minister, the service will initially operate with four buses running within Turbat town over a route spanning 18.4 kilometers. The buses will operate across 18 bus stops and are expected to carry around 4,500 passengers daily.
