Travel quick notes :

The city has two main roads: the Grand Trunk Road is the Indian Subcontinent's first and oldest road which connected Kabul (now in Afghanistan) to Kolkata (India). It was constructed by Sir Sher Shah Suri, then the emperor of India. Modern India has this road from city of Amritsar (in Punjab State bordering Pakistan) till Kolkata.

In addition to this there are more than 50 national highways connecting 28 States of India Republic and numerous State Highways. Grand Trunk Road runs roughly from east to west and is known as The Mall as it passes through the cantonment; Murree Road breaks north from The Mall, crosses the railway and brushes the east end of the old city on its way to Islamabad. the two main bazaar areas are Raja Bazaar in the old city and Sadder Bazaar, which developed as the cantonment bazaar between the old city and the Mall.

Once upon a time, Rawalpindi was famous for its Tongas, which were in demand throughout the country. The tonga has now been replaced with Suzuki Pickups. One sees huge and artfully decorated structure indigenously mounted on small chassis of vehicles lined up in Raja Bazaar or on Islamabad International Airport and young conductors shouting Tench Bhata or Sadder. The vehicle of convenience is being used as carrier and or loaders on almost all routes within the city. Foreign tourists wonder to see the innovative use of the utility vehicle and make their photos like unusual items.

Every available inch of the small vehicles seems decorated in some fashion. Badges and motifs plastered across the grills, fringes hanging down beneath the bumpers, gewgaws hanging from the mirrors, studs pined on to the mud flaps, a pyramid succession of mascots stacked on the front like the prow of an ancient sailing galleon, a star burst of reflectors across the back are common sights. A vision-obscuring decorative edge applied around the inside of the windscreen is also popular. Flickering lights, tassels, streamers, plastic flowers and glass-patterned metal cut-outs complete the happy picture.
