The posts generated thousands of views and comments, with many users assuming the service had been introduced only recently.
Cycle Ambulance Service Started as Pilot Project
According to media reports, the cycle ambulance service was launched in May 2025 by Rescue 1122 as a pilot project in Karachi. The initiative was introduced to operate in densely populated areas where emergency vehicles often face challenges reaching patients due to traffic congestion and narrow lanes.
Reports state that the cycle ambulance service was rolled out in selected localities as part of the pilot programme. The bicycles are used for emergency response in areas that are difficult for conventional ambulances to access quickly.
The video that has gone viral on social media has renewed public attention on the initiative, with several users sharing posts claiming it was a newly launched service. However, media reports indicate that the programme has been in operation since 2025 and was not introduced recently.
