Public Transportation in Sindh Welcome to Sindh Mass Transit

The Sindh Mass Transit Authority (SMTA) is dedicated to revolutionizing public transportation in Sindh, ensuring accessibility, safety, affordability, and sustainability for all.

At SMTA, our mission is to introduce a modern mass transit system that caters to the diverse commuting needs of the region.

By embracing cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, we strive to improve the quality of life for millions of residents in Sindh.

Under the flagship Karachi Transportation Improvement Project (KTIP), SMTA is implementing multiple initiatives designed to address the city's growing transportation needs.

Karachi Transportation Improvement Project (KTIP)

The successful operation of the Green Line BRT has set a new benchmark for public transportation in Karachi. This state-of-the-art project ensures:

  • Timely Commutes: Reduced travel time for thousands of daily commuters.
  • Eco-Friendly Transport: A significant reduction in carbon emissions through energy-efficient buses.
  • Enhanced Passenger Experience: Modern buses equipped with cutting-edge amenities and user-friendly stations.

The Orange Line BRT, funded by the Government of Sindh, spans 3.8 kilometers and is seamlessly integrated with the Green Line BRT system. This expansion ensures greater connectivity and accessibility, allowing commuters to traverse key urban areas with ease and convenience.

  • Fleet Details: 250 low-entry, diesel-hybrid buses that are 12 meters long.
  • Routes: Seven priority routes in Karachi and one route in Larkana.
  • Affordable Fares: Designed to accommodate passengers from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • Improved Accessibility: Serving key urban areas to enhance connectivity.

The Yellow BRT Corridor is a groundbreaking 22-kilometer-long project connecting the Korangi Industrial Area from Dawood Chowrangi to Numaish. This corridor is a lifeline for thousands of daily commuters and empowers communities with an affordable and reliable transportation option.

  • Strategic Route: Linking major industrial, residential, and commercial zones.
  • Inclusive Design: A safe and comfortable travel solution for women and marginalized groups.
  • Economic Growth: Facilitating workforce mobility and fostering economic activity in connected areas.

Why SMTA Stands Out in Public Transit

Our primary objective is to provide a safe, sustainable, reliable, and affordable public transport system that meets the unique demands of Sindh's residents. SMTA’s strategic planning and execution are rooted in effective management, stakeholder collaboration, and a focus on long-term growth.

  • Sustainability: Prioritizing eco-friendly practices to minimize environmental impact.
  • Innovation: Leveraging modern technology for efficient operations and superior passenger experiences.
  • Responsiveness: Adapting to evolving urban challenges with innovative solutions.

The success of our projects hinges on our partnerships with industry stakeholders, government bodies, and our valued customers. Together, we are working to establish a modern transport network that seamlessly connects the cities and communities of Sindh.

  • Address emerging transportation needs in rapidly urbanizing areas.
  • Incorporate green technologies for a sustainable future.
  • Enhance inter-city and intra-city connectivity across Sindh.
