Sindh Senior Minister for Transport Sharjeel Inam Memon has officially announced the launch of the second phase of the Pink Electric Scooter Scheme, marking another major step towards promoting safe, modern, and eco-friendly mobility for women in Karachi and other cities.
A Big Push for Women’s Mobility and Green Transport
The decision comes as part of the Sindh government’s larger effort to modernize transport, reduce pollution, and give women more freedom to move independently. The first phase of the initiative distributed around 200 free pink electric scooters, while the approved plan aims to hand out 1,000 scooters in total.
Minister Memon emphasized that Phase II will open registrations soon, allowing a much larger number of women—students, employees, and working professionals—to benefit. “This is about mobility, safety, and equal access,” he said. “Women deserve reliable transport to study, work, and live freely.”
The EV scooters are not only cost-effective, but they also offer a safe alternative in a city where unreliable transport often restricts women’s movement.
Purpose of the scheme
This project of the Sindh authorities has been designed to offer communication facilities to the women of the province and make them more independent in their practical lives. The authorities say that most girls face problems in commuting to school, university, college, and workplaces, due to which they are unable to completely utilize their potential.
In this context, the free electric scooter scheme has been released so that women can travel safely and conveniently on their vehicles and do not face the problems of public transport.

More Buses, New Routes, and Expanding the EV Fleet

Memon kept on confirming that a new batch of electric buses has already arrived in Karachi. These will soon be deployed across multiple routes to ease the overwhelming pressure on public transport and reduce environmental pollution. Additionally, surveys for four new routes in
- Khairpur

- Hyderabad is complete, and the government aims to make these routes functional within the month.
He also revealed plans to introduce double-decker buses on the major highways of Karachi to help
