Daewoo City Bus was the first environmental and technological revolution in the urban transport sector within Pakistan. The buses were introduced with more advanced and powerful engines with TECHO monitoring systems in 1999. Air conditioning, announcement system and stopping signals were introduced. Since 1998, the city bus service has operated four routes within the city covering all the localities while one suburban route operated for Sheikhupura.
