As of February 16, 2026, the Sindh government has officially launched the extended route of the double-decker bus service in Karachi, now operational between Malir Halt and Tower. This expansion, confirmed by Minister for Information, Transport and Mass Transit Sharjeel Inam Memon, is part of broader efforts to strengthen public transport in the city. The initiative marks the return of double-decker buses to Karachi after nearly six to seven decades, with a total of 39 buses—including five diesel-run double-decker buses and 34 electric vehicle (EV) buses—imported from China at a cost of Rs3 billion. The vehicles underwent clearance at the Karachi Port Trust before being made operational in phases, enhancing connectivity along one of the city's busiest corridors.
