The buses are managed by the National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC), under an agreement where NRTC will receive Rs306 to Rs331 per kilometer.
The electric bus service was first launched in July 2024, and following positive feedback, it’s now expanding. The CDA plans further expansion to improve public transport in Islamabad.
