However a fair chain of railway is there to connect big cities, but most of the people like to travel by road in Pakistan. One of the reason might be the good structure of roads now. It is worth mentioning that the chain of our roads is getting better after the construction of motorways in the recent decade. The Peshawar – Islamabad motorway & Islamabad to Lahore motorways are the greatest achievements in this regard that provides the efficient & comfortable transportation facility to the people.

A couple of weeks ago, I was traveling from my home town (tarbela) to Islamabad, the above photo is taken soon after when i leave burhan interchange. It is about 80 Km journey. Most of the time i use the route of motorway from burhan. Yet no other choice. although it’s been 1.5 years when the motorway was opened for traffic from Peshawar to Islamabad but the chuch interchange that connect hazro & tarbela to M1 is still not open for traffic.. We are really unfortunate in this case when an interchange that directly link tarbela to motorway is not yet constructed. the authority claims that the local community are making hurdles in the construction, all the people living in the near surroundings are sane people, i wouldn’t agree with the argument that they can stop this development at there own area. Now it’s the failure of authority or what ever, this dilemma need to be resolved now.

E- Tag is the electronic toll system at motorway in Pakistan in which the tool tax is automatically deducted from the chip that is stick on the screen of the vehicle. It makes an hassle free entry & exits from motorway interchanges & you don’t need to stay in lines to pay the tool fee physically, E-Tag is free of cost, it’s like a pre-pay billing, you just pay for tool as much you want at the booth provided at most of the big interchanges like Islamabad, Peshawar & Lahore.. they need your vehicle no & NIC no to provide you a chip sticker for your vehicle wind screen. but here the E-tag got few one negative point that it is not yet available at all interchanges of motorway. you can use this facility at selected interchanges that includes, peshawar, islamabad, lahore, faisalabad, mardan & burhan.
