Karachi – inDrive, a leading travel platform, has unveiled an intriguing glimpse into the travel preferences of citizens of Pakistan through its recent intercity survey.
As temperatures drop and the festive season approaches, the findings offer valuable insights for those planning cross-city escapades.
Spontaneity Takes the Lead: With a zest for adventure, the survey reveals that 70% of Pakistanis prefer spontaneity when planning their intercity journeys, opting to organize their trips a few days before or even on the same day. This impulsive approach adds an exhilarating touch to the travel experience, fostering an environment ripe for exploration.
Vibrant Tapestry of Intercity Travel: Intercity travel in Pakistan paints a vibrant tapestry, with 81% engaging in such trips once or multiple times per half year. An impressive 18% of respondents identify as avid travelers, jetting off 2-4 times per month. Work or business commitments (57%) top the list of reasons for these journeys, closely followed by family bonds and visits (52%).
Planning Pays Off: For those mapping out their holiday routes, the survey suggests that a little planning can go a long way. While 70% embrace spontaneity, an early game plan ensures access to the most comfortable options at reasonable prices. Buses (59%), personal cars (35%), and rented cars (37%) emerge as the preferred modes of transportation, offering a blend of convenience and personal style.
Safety First, Price Second: When it comes to choosing modes of travel, safety takes precedence at 63%, closely followed by a reasonable price (55%) and comfort (45%).
