The Pakistan Railways Department has announced a reduction in train fares across different classes in response to a decrease in diesel prices.
An official notification has been issued, stating that the fare reduction will be implemented immediately. Passengers traveling shorter distances, ranging from one to 200 kilometers, across all classes of trains, will benefit from reduced fares, with the economy and AC classes experiencing the most significant decreases.
As per the notification, economy class fares on certain routes have been reduced by up to 54 percent. For example, the minimum fare for the economy class on the Lahore to Rawalpindi route has been slashed by Rs. 150 to just Rs. 100.
Additionally, fares for the Khyber Mail route, covering distances of 1 km to 130 km, have been reduced to Rs. 100 from Rs. 250. AC class passengers will enjoy up to a 40% reduction in fares across various routes.
