Sindh Transport Minister, Sharjeel Memon, on Thursday announced that Sindh Government is going to introduce an e-taxi service for passengers in Karachi, which includes pink-colored taxis that will be launched specifically for female passengers.
According to the details, the first phase of the project will see the launch of over 200 electric taxis, with 50 of them designated as pink e-taxis, which are going to operate specifically for women in Karachi.
