Sindh senior minister Sharieel Inam Memon announced on Wednesday that pink scooters will be distributed at no cost to the provincial government next month.
He approached a press conference in Karachi and said the Sindh government would also introduce double-decker buses and electrical buses (EVS) as part of its transport initiatives.
Tracks for cyclists and pedestrians are also built, he added.
As for the yellow line Brt, Memon said the corridor along the Jam Sadiq Bridge will be completed prior to the plan. The old bridge will subsequently be torn and rebuilt to improve traffic flow, he added.

According to Memon, Red Line Brt remains a central focus and will be completed at the earliest, with the project that goes on under the support of the World Bank.
Established in 2020, Transkarachi is a business in the public sector owned by the government in Sindh. It acts as an implementation agency for $ 503 million Karachi Bus Rapid Transit (Brt) Red Line.
The project is sponsored by the provincial government with financial support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and co -financing funds, including the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the French Agency for Development (AFD) and Green Climate Fund (GCF).
The Red Line project is developed in three stages.

Phase 1 connects Model Colony with Mosmiyat, Phase Two will expand the route from Mosmiyat to Numaish Chowrangi, and phase three runs from Municipal Park to Tower.
The foundation stone of phases one and two, covering bus offerings and civilian works, was laid in August 2022 with a first implementing target of 2024, but the deadline has been uncertain.
Earlier in March, Memon had said that the yellow line BRT project would be completed in May 2025, five months ahead of the plan.
The Red Line BRT project is facing some problems due to civil aviation, Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) and K-IV, which will soon be resolved, Memon said.
He also said Green Line’s prices will not be increased, but the facilities will be further increased so that better travel facilities could be delivered to the people.
