The Sindh government has officially announced the second phase of its Pink Scooty Program, a landmark initiative aimed at promoting women’s mobility, independence, and safety across the province. The program aligns with the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) vision for empowering women and ensuring equal access to public transportation opportunities.
Free Training and Licenses for Female Riders
Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon shared that the government will continue offering free driving training and licenses to female participants under this phase. The initiative is designed to support students and working women who face daily commuting challenges due to unreliable or unsafe transport options.
He urged women to register early for driving courses and make full use of the government’s facilities. According to Memon, this project not only helps women commute independently but also fosters confidence and self-reliance among participants.
Successful First Phase Inspires Expansion
The first phase of the Pink Scooty Program received an overwhelming response from women across Sindh. Hundreds successfully completed their training, received their licenses, and began using Pink Scooties for their daily travel.
Encouraged by its success, the Sindh government is expanding the initiative to reach more districts, ensuring that a greater number of women benefit from safe and dignified mobility solutions.
Part of a Broader Transport Revolution
Minister Sharjeel Memon emphasized that the Pink Scooty Program is part of the broader transport development efforts under the PPP government. Other projects like the People’s Bus Service, Pink Bus Service, and Electric Bus Service aim to make public transport more inclusive and accessible.
He stressed that these initiatives reflect the government’s commitment to women’s safety, reducing harassment risks, and improving overall urban commuting standards.
Empowering Women – The PPP Vision
The Sindh government highlighted that the program is inspired by the vision of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, who championed women’s empowerment and leadership in Pakistan.
Through the second phase of the Pink Scooty Program, the government aims to create new avenues for women to pursue education, employment, and entrepreneurship — fostering a safer and more equitable society.
