The Punjab government has announced the distribution date for e-bikes under its student scheme. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif said the distribution of e-bikes would begin on November 5, 2026, to help students travel to educational institutions and manage their daily commuting expenses.
Under the scheme, the provincial government plans to provide 100,000 electric bikes to students, with a larger share reserved for female students. The initiative aims to make transportation more accessible and affordable for students across Punjab.

The scheme has received more than 1.2 million registrations and over 600,000 applications, according to the reported figures. The strong response highlights the demand for affordable transport among students.
The government also plans to support students who do not know how to ride a bike. These students will receive two days of free riding training to help them learn the basics and travel independently.
The initiative is expected to make daily journeys easier for students who rely on public transport or face difficulties reaching their educational institutions.
Punjab Green Bus Fare to Remain at Rs. 20
Maryam Nawaz also announced that Punjab’s fully electric Green Bus service would continue charging Rs. 20 per ride despite rising petrol and diesel prices.
The service currently operates 700 buses. The provincial government plans to increase the fleet to 3,000 buses within the next six to eight months.
The government also provides free travel on these buses to women, students, senior citizens, and people with disabilities.

The Punjab government aims to expand the Green Bus service to all 148 tehsils across the province. The expansion is expected to improve access to public transport for residents in more cities and towns.
The e-bike scheme and electric bus expansion form part of the provincial government’s efforts to promote affordable and environmentally friendly transportation. The upcoming e-bike distribution will provide students with another transport option, while the Green Bus service will continue to offer low-cost travel to the public.
