Pakistan Railways has recently declared a significant decrease in fares, reducing them by 33 percent during the festive period of Eidul Adha. This decision comes in response to the high influx of passengers expected to travel during the Islamic festival.
The aim of this fare reduction is to provide greater convenience and affordability for Pakistanis wishing to visit their hometowns. The government intends to offer relief to passengers by implementing this substantial discount across all classes, including economy class, business class, and parlor car class. Additionally, individuals traveling in AC standard and AC sleepers will also have the opportunity to avail themselves of these generous discounts.
