KARACHI – 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 these vehicles and later the KU Transport unit converted the CNG engine vehicle to a diesel engine and also repaired and reconditioned all these vehicles so that they could be added to the university’s transport system.
