Transportation In Lahore

Transportation in Lahore is very efficient, making Lahore one of the most easily
accessible cities in Pakistan. Apart from the Grand Trunk road that connects Lahore to
Islamabad, the Pakistan government has introduced a number of other under passes and
linking roads to avoid the usual traffic congestion. This can be evidently proven from the
recent records that show Lahore as having the highest number of underway passages.

The very reliable transportation in Lahore connects the city to other parts of the country
by means of railway, air and bus. Besides, Rickshaws and taxis have proved to be the
most widely accessed means of transportation in Lahore. The railway headquarters of
Pakistan is seated in Lahore and there's no doubt to the fact that railways serve as the
most vital means of connecting different cities of Pakistan and bringing a large number of
tourists from all corners of the country. People in Pakistan generally make use of the
Lahore central railway station to carry out their business, education, and sight seeing
programs.

Air travel in Lahore has also gained substantial significance and the government of
Pakistan has recently constructed an entirely new airport in Lahore named as the Allam
Iqbal International Airport. This new airport is served by a number of airlines including
the national carrier, Pakistan International Airlines. This extended airport facility has
facilitated the influx of a large crowd of Pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia for
performing the auspicious Hajj.

However, the road transportation in Lahore is known to be the most treacherous in the
country after Karachi. This is essentially because the number of vehicles in Lahore that
surpasses the capacity of the roads to withhold them. Moreover, the road pathways are
extremely unorganized making it difficult for people to access the tourist destinations or
even their work shops on time. Although, government has been making earnest efforts to
improve the road transportation in Lahore, there is an urgent need to take copious
measures for reconstructing and improving the infrastructure in Pakistan. This and this
alone can help lessen the frequent accidental instances of transportation in Lahore.

Of late, the ministry of transportation has taken steps to a mass transit system within the
city and also to increase the frequency and speed of railway trains running between
Lahore and Rawalpindi. Lahore's transportation, though on a point of development, has
incessantly proved its objectives of providing the passengers with a comfortable and safe
journey and it is essentially for this reason that the economy of Pakistan depends to a
considerable extent, on the transportation of Lahore.

Road Transportation Services in Lahore

Lahore in particular, is reputed for having the highest number of underpasses in Pakistan.
Despite such massive improvement in the road transport services in Lahore, the
government has virtually done nothing to prevent the inevitable and perpetual traffic
congestion that has massacred hundreds of people in accidental deaths.
Nonetheless, road transportation services are made smoother in areas like the Mall, Jail
Road, M M Alam Road, Main Boulevard Road, Firozpur Road, Multan Road, etc.

The Daewoo Bus Service is one of the better bus service connecting cities such as
Islamabad Lahore also features several decorated buses. These are crowded, and men and
women have to sit separately.

Taxi and Rental Car

Taxis and rental cars are the other modes of Lahore transportation. These are more
comfortable but also expensive. It is best to hire a taxi or a car if you are traveling with a
group of people.

Lahore Restaurants

Lahore dining will be a pleasant experience for the young, old, locals and visitors alike.
The full range of traditional and contemporary restaurants scattered throughout the city
serve a variety of cuisine, guaranteed to satisfy even the most seasoned gourmet.

One of Lahore 's much-loved dining areas and a famous tourist attraction, the Food Street
in Gawal Mandi serves the best in authentic Lahori food. Coocoo's Den, another famous
diner in Lahore , is housed in a 300 year old 'kothi' style, 5-storey house. Here, visitors
can enjoy a delicious meal, home-cooked according to traditional recipes. An assortment
of spices, mainly from the South Asian region, gives an irresistible flavour to the food
served at these Lahore restaurants.

Apart from the traditional restaurants that dot the city, several western fast food chains,
including five KFC outlets, have opened outlets in the new Lahore shopping malls.
