Pakistan Railways is raising fares by 5 percent for various types of trains, including mail/express, intercity, saloons, and parcel trains. This fare hike follows a government announcement of higher petroleum product prices. It's important to note that short lead passenger trains, shuttle trains, and long lead trains covering 1 to 250 kilometers will not be affected by this fare increase.
Starting from September 19, 2023, Pakistan Railways will implement a 5 percent fare increase across various types of trains. The updated fare table will apply at stations, booking/reservation offices, and for advance reservations, with details available on their website. This marks the second fare increase in just over a month, with a 10 percent increase introduced in August 2023 following rising fuel costs. Additionally, earlier in September, postal and motorcycle transportation rates were raised by 5 percent as well.
