January 02, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan Railways is set to upgrade all passenger trains in phases by the end of the current year to provide commuters with a safer, more comfortable, and modern travel experience.

Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi said the initiative is part of ongoing reforms aimed at transforming Pakistan Railways into a passenger-friendly and financially strong organization.

He said the upgradation will include improved safety features, better onboard facilities, and modernization of train coaches, according to Radio Pakistan.

The minister expressed satisfaction over the improved performance of the railway department, particularly in the freight sector, which generated record revenue of over Rs17bn during the first half of the current financial year.

He added that if the current pace continues, freight revenue is expected to exceed Rs38bn by the end of the financial year.

Muhammad Hanif Abbasi said reforms will continue at full pace to make Pakistan Railways a secure, efficient, and modern transport system.
