Great news for travelers! Pakistan Railways has just announced a 10% fare reduction for all train classes, making travel more budget-friendly. This reduction applies to both AC classes on express and mail trains, as well as economy classes on passenger trains.
Starting September 23, the new fare structure will be in effect, part of the government’s initiative to enhance accessibility and affordability for the public.
In related news, Pakistan Railways has also taken steps to streamline operations by officially abolishing 1,967 posts in its commercial department under the Railway Rationalization Plan. This adjustment affects various major divisions, including Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan, Sukkur, Quetta, and Karachi, with positions closing upon the retirement of current employees.
This move aims to boost efficiency and better manage resources within the railway system. Are you excited to take advantage of the new fares? Let us know your travel plans!
