July 18, 2024 (MLN): Pakistan Railways has hiked fares for all trains, with effect from Friday, July 19, 2024, as APP reported.

According to a notification issued on Thursday, fares will be increased by 1% for all mail, express, intercity, and passenger trains, including outsourced services.

This adjustment was being implemented under the rationale of fare rationalization.

Meanwhile, the fare for all freight and goods trains would see a 2% increase.

To note, Pakistan Railways has collected an amount of over Rs76 million from ticket-less passengers in a crackdown during the last six months with the help of railway police and train staffers.

“Around 59,143 passengers found travelling without tickets in different trains and collected the said amount from them, which is deposited in the official bank account of the department,” APP quoted sources in the ministry as saying.
