This project — during a cabinet meeting — is focused to improve infrastructure and public service, connecting Lahore to Rawalpindi with a modern, efficient, and rapid transit system.
Officials said that this project will reduce your travel time between the two major cities, increasing economic activity, and give you a comfortable way to get across the province.
You will be able to travel through a high-speed train with a comfortable and convenient experience.
