LAHORE: Punjab Government all set to launch a state-of-the-art electric SRT subway bus in provincial metropolis Lahore as a test run.
The electric SRT subway bus has been delivered to Lahore by a private Chinese company for a trial run, marking a significant step toward modern and eco-friendly public transportation in the city.
The innovative bus was brought to the Orange Line Terminal, where it is expected to undergo trial operations in coordination with the Punjab government.
Officials suggest that the bus may initially be tested along Canal Road, one of Lahore’s busiest traffic corridors.
The SRT (Smart Rail Transit) bus is a cutting-edge electric vehicle that runs without the need for traditional tracks, offering a flexible and sustainable alternative to conventional mass transit systems.
Already operational in cities like Dubai, the SRT bus is known for its adaptability and environmental benefits.
Measuring up to 30 meters in length, the bus is powered by two engines and can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour. Despite its large size, the vehicle boasts remarkable maneuverability, with the ability to make turns in spaces as small as 15 meters in diameter.
