Pakistan Railways has announced a significant reduction in fares for all classes of passenger trains, starting August 3. This decrease in fares will bring relief to thousands of passengers who rely on trains for their daily commute.
The fare reduction ranges from Rs 50 to Rs 150, depending on the class of travel. AC class tickets will see a decrease of Rs 100 to Rs 150, while economy class fares will be slashed by Rs 50. This price drop will be applicable on all passenger trains across Pakistan.
