Presiding over a meeting to discuss the bus operations, the DC said that the route will be chosen in order to allow the tourists to see all historical places, monuments and mausoleums in one tour.
He added that the fare for the buses will also be lesser than that being charged in Lahore. “Moreover, special commentary will enlighten tourists about the historical significance of the ancient city,” he said.
Officials informed the DC that three terminals would be established for the buses at Chaman Zar-e-Askari, Qasim Fort and Shah Shams Park. T The buses will be air conditioned with a capacity of holding 60 passengers.
