To provide some relief to passengers, the Rawalpindi District Administration has approved a new air-conditioned, round-the-clock and affordable shuttle service from Rawalpindi to New Islamabad International Airport (IIA).
The route will start from two points – Rawat and Gulzare Quaid – in Rawalpindi, while its commencement point in Islamabad will be Pak Secretariat.
According to a report by The Express Tribune, the new shuttle service will operate round the clock on a low fare in order to give relief to the travellers.
The report highlights that the shuttle service will traverse three different routes — two in Rawalpindi and one in Islamabad. The first route will start from Rawat and reach IIA via Sawan Camp, Kutcheri, Mall Road, and Peshawar Road. Meanwhile, buses on the other route will run from Gulzar Chowk and reach IIA via old Benazir Bhutto International Airport and same routes as above. From Islamabad, passengers will travel from Pakistan Secretariat directly to IIA.
The minister added that the service will be functional round the clock, but rates are yet to be finalised.
Two private transport companies have also reportedly offered to dedicate buses to the cause.
Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan told The Express Tribune that preparations for launching the new shuttle service have begun and would be operational in less than two months.
