Birmingham's Labour MP Khalid Mahmood, whose family originate from Mirpur, said on Sunday: “It's a great idea that will bring the two cities closer together.
“I'm sure the service will prove very popular, especially with average air fares to Pakistan being about £600.”
However, there are security concerns as the bus will pass through Quetta, capital of Baluchistan, which has been wracked by violence recently.
But Transport Minister Tahir Khokher said: “I don't feel that security will be a problem. Barring one or two instances in Quetta, the overall situation is good-to-go.
“We are proposing to run four luxury buses once a fortnight. It will be a thrilling ride with particular arrangements for sightseeing, camping and restaurant visits.”
