LAHORE: Lahore is set to introduce its first-ever floating restaurant, a unique project announced by the Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA). Located near Harbanspura along the canal, the floating restaurant is set to become a major attraction in the city.
The project, with an estimated cost of Rs 350 million, will feature a variety of amenities including seating areas, children’s play zones, and recreational facilities, offering a distinctive dining experience for locals and tourists alike. According to PHA, three companies have been pre-qualified for the construction, and the project is expected to be completed soon.
In a separate development, Punjab Transport Minister Bilal Akbar announced the launch of “Pink Buses” exclusively for women in Lahore. Speaking at the Punjab Assembly, he revealed that the Pink buses will operate on 16 routes across the city, with one to two buses per route. This initiative aims to improve transportation options for women and is part of a larger plan to introduce a total of 300 buses across Lahore.
Additionally, Akbar shared plans to expand the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system to other cities such as Faisalabad, Sialkot, and Multan, stating that 5,000 to 6,000 buses will be allocated to each divisional headquarters.
