The Lahore Traffic Police has set up five driving training schools for students under the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme. The initiative will help students learn safe riding skills and obtain driving licenses.
The new facilities aim to make the electric bike program safer and more accessible for students. They will provide training and licensing support at several locations across Lahore.
According to the announcement, the training centers have been established at five different locations. These include Abshar Driving School, Liberty Khidmat Markaz, Greater Iqbal Park, Traffic Police Lines Manawan, and LOS Ferozepur Road.
Students participating in the CM Punjab E-Bike Scheme can use these facilities to receive driving training. The initiative is designed to encourage responsible riding among young electric bike users.
The training program is linked to the Punjab government’s wider electric bike initiative. The scheme aims to help students access affordable transportation for their educational needs.
