Maryam Nawaz has introduced a new electric bike programme to support young people across Punjab. The initiative aims to make daily travel easier and more affordable, especially for students and individuals starting their careers.
Under this scheme, electric bikes will be provided to eligible youth at reduced costs or through easy payment plans.
Officials said the goal is to help young people overcome transportation challenges, particularly those who struggle with high fuel expenses or limited public transport options.
The programme also focuses on promoting environmentally friendly travel. By encouraging the use of electric bikes, the government hopes to reduce reliance on petrol and lower pollution levels in urban areas. This step is seen as part of a broader effort to introduce modern and sustainable transport solutions in the province.
Authorities believe the scheme will not only improve mobility but also support economic activity. Easier access to transport can help students attend classes regularly and enable job seekers to reach workplaces without difficulty.
In addition, the initiative is expected to raise awareness about clean energy and its long-term benefits. Officials say such programmes can play an important role in reducing environmental impact while supporting daily life needs.
Experts have welcomed the move, noting that affordable transport options can significantly improve quality of life for young people. They also highlighted that combining mobility support with environmental goals is a positive step.
