CDA Launches Electric Buses on 13 Routes

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has announced the introduction of CDA Electric Buses on 13 public routes in Islamabad. This initiative is a significant move toward eco-friendly public transportation, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and enhance the commuting experience in the city. The project aligns with the authority’s goal to promote sustainable urban mobility.

Arrival of Electric Buses

Out of the planned fleet of 160 electric buses, 146 have already reached Islamabad, with the remaining 14 expected soon. These Islamabad CDA Electric Buses will improve public transport services and significantly contribute to reducing urban pollution. The availability of these buses marks a milestone in the CDA Bus Launch initiative, showcasing their commitment to modern, environmentally friendly transportation solutions.

Charging Infrastructure Development

To support the operations of CDA Electric Bus Routes, a charging station is under construction at Zero Point. Unfortunately, delays occurred as tenders were canceled twice, hindering progress. However, the CDA has resolved the issue by issuing a new tender at reduced rates. The authority is also prioritizing the installation of chargers and dedicated parking areas for smooth and efficient bus operations.

Driver Training and Temporary Offices

For the effective management of the service, the CDA plans to establish temporary offices in containers. Additionally, drivers will undergo a month-long training program to ensure safe and reliable operations. These measures highlight the authority’s efforts to prepare for the seamless execution of the CDA Electric Buses service.

Route Approvals and Launch Plans

The first phase of the project includes approved routes such as Park Road, B-17, PWD, and I-8/I-9. Preparations are underway to begin service on these routes soon. The CDA Electric Buses Launch is set to transform public transportation in Islamabad, providing citizens with sustainable and convenient commuting options through the use of Islamabad Electric Buses.
