Sindh has decided to start the second phase of pink scooter distribution for women. The decision came during a meeting chaired by Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon on Wednesday. Officials said the initiative aims to support women who depend on public transport.
During the meeting, the government also approved four new routes of the People’s Bus Service. These routes will operate in Khairpur, Shikarpur and Hyderabad. The plan is expected to improve travel options for thousands of daily commuters.
Earlier in September, Sharjeel Memon called the scheme a major step toward women’s empowerment. He said the pink scooters offer safe and affordable mobility for women. He added that students and working women will benefit the most.
Memon explained that scooters help women save time and travel costs. He noted that the program also ensures a secure travel environment. Applications from eligible women are being processed through the Sindh Mass Transit Authority.
