Punjab Government increased inter- and intra-city transport fees by up to 267%. Keep in mind that this applies to non-AC buses. The decision has sent shockwaves through the populace, who are already burdened by the rising cost of living. The massive increase is likely to leave the public devoid of basic transportation.
The new fares came into effect on April 25 amid soaring inflation. Inflation-affected citizens are concerned that this circumstance will make travel nearly impossible.
According to details, the fares of buses running between different cities will increase by 265%, while those running within the city will see a 267% increase. The current fare for a four-kilometer journey is Rs. 14. This rate will go up to Rs. 47 after a hike of Rs. 33.
People are gradually shifting from private transport including cars and bikes to public transport due to fuel expenses. With such a drastic hike in fuel prices, people may not be left with any option other than cycling or walking to their respective destinations.
This is ridiculous either in Wah Cantt
We used to pay stop to stop Rs.70/- hardly distance two to three KM Wah Cantt is suburb of Islamabad / Rawalpindi, Taxila in the name of Welfare meanz Wel Fraud (POFs) Pakistan Ordinance Factories
Wah Cantt sister organizations Subsidiary
(POFs) Welfare Transport System.
Wah Cantt is Surrounded hardly 8 to 10
KM
Wah Cantonment is prime example of Badmashi of Pakistan Army, a state within a state. Own rules and every thing or any thing the station commander wishes for. The Bloody Civilians living there are denied entry every year unless they renew the entry Token of their vehicles. To help understand, this token renewal requires atleast 5-6 trips to Token office run by extremely ill-mannered and rude uniformed rulers of Pakistan. You need the owner Police Verification, Car 15 Clearance, all Cantonment Board due cleared certificate, all documents like car registration, cnic, etc etc verified by a officer of Cantonment board. Its easy to get a USA Visa then this humiliating process. But no one would listen or do anything before these atrocities.
With due respect it’s our laziness and attitude issue for not using bicycles for shorter routes. As a nation we should know what we are going through.
