The Punjab government is moving fast to launch its Electric Taxi Scheme after seeing growing interest from citizens. According to the Transport Department, over 28,000 people have applied to participate in the program. The applications are now being reviewed, and once approved, the selected candidates’ data will be shared with the Bank of Punjab. This will allow the government to contact them for down payment after a fair balloting process.
Officials have said that once the balloting and down payment confirmation are completed, the electric taxis will be delivered to citizens within 3 to 4 months. This initiative not only provides modern transportation options to the public but also supports environment-friendly travel in the province.
How Citizens Can Participate
The Transport Department has requested all applicants to submit accurate and complete information in their forms. This ensures that the balloting process and taxi delivery proceed smoothly without delays. The balloting is scheduled for the last week of November, after which selected citizens can start receiving their electric taxis.
Benefits of the Electric Taxi Scheme
The scheme is designed to modernize taxi services in Punjab. Electric taxis will reduce pollution, limit fuel consumption, and contribute to cleaner and healthier urban areas. Citizens will enjoy safer, modern, and more convenient travel, while the province benefits from a greener and more sustainable transport system.
In addition to improving daily travel, the project will also help raise the standards of public transport in Punjab. Cleaner streets, less fuel use, and environmentally friendly vehicles are all part of the government’s vision to make urban transport modern and efficient.
A Step Toward a Modern Transport System
This initiative provides a unique opportunity for citizens to use safe, modern, and eco-friendly transportation. It is expected to play a key role in the future development of Punjab’s transport system, offering better services to residents and promoting an environmentally conscious approach.
The Electric Taxi Scheme shows the government’s commitment to providing innovative transport solutions while protecting the environment. Once fully implemented, it will make city travel easier, cleaner, and more sustainable for everyone.
