Individuals over 65 and children under 12 are eligible for free travel. The public has praised the CDA for providing a practical travel option.
The shuttle service, according to Chairman CDA Captain (r) Muhammad Usman Younis, also seeks to reduce traffic on the Murree Expressway during peak travel times.
A shuttle bus service between Murree and Islamabad has already been introduced. An earlier initiative of this kind was started by the Punjab government in July 2022.
The provincial government ran 15 buses between Islamabad and Murree during Eid-ul-Azha the previous year. A one-way ticket cost Rs. 100 for tourists a year ago.
