KARACHI: The government of Sindh introduced Automated Fare Collection (AFC) system for People Bus Service.
Addressing the launching ceremony in Karachi, Sindh Minister for Transport and Mass Transit Sharjeel Inam Memon said the Sindh government’s top priority was providing maximum facilities for the people with the help of modern technology.
He apprised that the card could initially be utilised on Route 1 and 9 buses. The automated system would bring transparency in the fare collection system, he said.
Boasting about the Pink Buses, Memon said only few countries in the world had a women-only bus service.
Despite the increased prices of petrol and diesel in the past two to three years, he said, the Sindh government decided to maintain Rs50 per person fare for up to 35 to 40 kilometers’ travel.
