The Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab (TDCP) has announced the withdrawal of the recent fare increase for its Lahore sightseeing bus service, offering relief to tourists and local visitors.
Officials said the decision was taken in light of the latest reduction in petroleum prices. Acting in the public interest, TDCP has cancelled the earlier notification that approved higher ticket rates and has restored the previous fares for the popular city tour service.
Official notification issued
According to TDCP authorities, an official circular has been issued with the approval of the Managing Director, formally reinstating the original ticket prices for the Lahore sightseeing buses.

By rolling back the fare hike, the authority aims to encourage greater participation in city tours and promote tourism in Lahore.
The corporation added that similar public-friendly measures will continue to be considered in the future to support tourism growth and improve visitor experiences across Punjab.
