ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Railways has announced a price drop for tickets on all types of passenger trains across the country, just weeks after raising prices.

According to the notification, Rs100 to Rs150 have been reduced on AC class tickets, while Rs50 have been reduced on economy class tickets.

“The aim of reducing rail fares is to make train travel more affordable and accessible for the public,” the PR notification read. The development came a day after the federal government announced a reduction in petroleum product prices.

It may be noted that the railway department had announced a 1% fare hike for all trains, including mail, express, intercity, and passenger trains, as well as outsourced services, on July 18. This adjustment was implemented under the rationale of fare rationalization.

Moreover, the fare for all freight and goods trains was increased by 2%. The railways collected over Rs76 million from ticket-less passengers in a crackdown during the last six months, aided by railway police and train staff.

“Around 59,143 passengers were found traveling without tickets in different trains, and the said amount was collected from them and deposited in the official bank account of the department,” sources in the ministry had told officials.
