The University of Karachi inducted a 40-seater (point) bus, one 20-seater coaster, a mobile pickup, and a fire tender into its existing fleet on Monday.

The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation donated the vehicles and later the KU Transport unit converted the CNG engine vehicle to a diesel engine and also repaired and reconditioned all such vehicles so that they could be added to the university’s transport system.

The-then KMC Administrator Dr Syed Saifur Rehman had handed over 10 buses, an ambulance, a fire tender along with a security mobile and a 20-seater coaster to the university.

The Transport Unit of the University of Karachi has also started working to convert other CNG engine buses to diesel engines and they would be added to the KU transport pool in the near future.

KU Vice Chancellor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi inaugurated a ceremony of induction of such vehicles at the KU Transport Unit and appreciated the “dedication, commitment, and hard work of the staf”f and mentioned that the renovation work was carried out by the transport unit.
