History:
Rawalpindi city is explained in following words by Wikipedia.
The word "Rawalpindi" consists of two Punjabi words; Rawal, and Pindi. The origin of the name may derive from the combination of two words Rawal, meaning "lake" in Punjabi, and Pind, meaning "village." The combination of the two words thus means "The village of the lake". Other sources have posited a Sanskrit origin of the city's name

Both cities are very close to each other and the distance is also no more due to Metro Bus.
