In an effort to promote tourism and attract the foreigners in particular to visit tourist attractions spots, double-decker bus service between twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad has been launched on trial basis. 

They are presently having capacity for 40 passengers with proposed fare of PKR 400 for a tourist. 

However, children less than five years and special persons can joy ride free to visit historical and tourist attractions in twin cities. The regular bus service is expected at the end of current month. 

It’s being deemed as an encouraging sign for the revival of tourism in the country as the government has chalked out elaborate plans to rope in more foreigners for visiting Pakistan.
