After Sargodha, Careem launches services in Mardan


Driving even further with its mission, Careem adds another city to its ride-hailing market in Pakistan.

With a population of about 2.3 million people, Mardan becomes the third city in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa to receive ride-hailing services.

“We seek to revolutionise travelling, not only in metro cities but in as many places as possible,” according to Junaid Iqbal, Managing Director of Careem.

The Mardan launch follows a week after the Careem launched its services in Sargodha.

“This will also help create more jobs, leading to economic growth in the city, and eventually, in the region,” according to a press release.

Careem has faced stiff competition from Uber in Lahore and Islamabad but has outdone its competitor by catering to a diverse range of cities in the country.

Careem’s General Manager of KP, Momina Asad Rajput is hopeful of an even better response after receiving commendable appreciation for the Careem launch in Peshawar and Abbottabad.
