The fare reduction will apply to all classes of travel across the Pakistan Railways network, benefiting thousands of passengers who rely on the service for their daily commute and long-distance travel. The decision is also aimed at encouraging more people to opt for train travel, which remains one of the most affordable modes of transportation in the country.
Pakistan Railways has been working to improve its services and boost ridership, especially after the economic difficulties and operational challenges it faced in recent years. By offering more competitive pricing, the rail authority hopes to attract a larger customer base while supporting the public during these tough economic times.
