As per the agreement, 10 Careem Captains will be trained by TDCP to become certified tourist guides for people interested in learning more about the culture and history of Lahore. To avail of the service, people in Lahore will be able to choose a specific car type called ‘Safe and Secure Tourism (SST)’.
Discussing the agreement, Asadullah Faiz, Managing Director TDCP, stated, “Three routes have been finalized for this service initially. The first includes factual and instructive tours of Lahore Museum, National history museum, Lahore Fort, and Badshahi Masjid.
