The Sindh government has taken a new step to improve public safety and transport monitoring in major cities. Authorities have decided to link the Peoples Bus Service and the EV Taxi service with the Safe City Network to make travel more secure and efficient. This move aims to strengthen surveillance, support crime prevention, and ensure smoother urban mobility.
The decision focuses on real-time monitoring of public transport vehicles. By connecting these services to the Safe City Network, law enforcement agencies will be able to track routes, respond faster to emergencies, and monitor any suspicious activity. The network uses advanced cameras, command centers, and digital coordination systems already active in Karachi and other major cities.
This initiative is part of a broader plan to modernize city infrastructure and improve daily travel experience. The government believes that integrating transportation and security systems will help reduce incidents such as harassment, vehicle theft, and road crime. It will also help authorities take quick action in case of accidents or breakdowns, ensuring safer movement across busy routes.
The Peoples Bus Service has become an important travel option for citizens in Karachi, Hyderabad, and Sukkur. Commuters appreciate its affordability, structured routes, and air-conditioned facilities. The EV Taxi service, on the other hand, aims to provide an environmentally friendly travel option, lowering fuel costs and reducing pollution. Linking both services to a centralized monitoring system is expected to increase passenger confidence.
This development also relates to recent security discussions in the province. For instance, a recent report highlighted how two Karachi transporters were safely rescued during a joint operation in Balochistan, showing the value of coordination and surveillance in protecting citizens. Such incidents underline why improved monitoring remains a key government priority.
Authorities confirm that installation of tracking devices and network integration will begin soon. Transport staff will be trained to communicate with command and control centers to ensure smooth operation. The Safe City Network will eventually cover more routes and transport points, improving consistency in monitoring.
Citizens hope that these steps will lead to safer travel in the province. Better monitoring and faster emergency response are expected to make public transport more reliable and secure. The initiative reflects the government’s broader plan to promote modern infrastructure and improved quality of life in Sindh.
