AOA!
I think that a host of factors determine the cost of living in any city
- Living independently in a hostel/shared flat/independent flat/portion, Vs. staying with a relative;
- Using public Conveyance Vs. personal conveyance,
- Eating-out, Vs. cooking by self/a cook
But, in any city, within Pakistan, the basic cost structure is more or less constant throughout Pakistan. i.e., if u're eating local food at work place the costs range b/w Rs. 30-70, but if u're ordering from a franchise chain it varies etc.
So, anybody familiar with the Cost of living in Pakistan in general, can work-out his/her Costs depending on the standard of living & affordability.
However, I can vouch for the fact that Karachi & Lahore both offer competitive public-transport facilities. Accomomdation of all levels,is also quite readily available (however some market research is necessary) in both cities. this is evident from a large no. of out-station students residing in these cities. Cant say much about Islamabad/RWP.
Ed.
Security is merely a superstition, Life is either a daring adventure or nothing!
