Following the caretaker government’s decision to reduce the price of petrol by Rs. 14 per liter, transporters have passed on the benefit to the passengers by lowering their fares.
This move aims to alleviate the financial burden on the public and enhance the affordability of transportation services.
The Punjab Regional Transport Authority (RTA) Secretary stated that transporters have reduced their fares per the recent Rs. 14 per liter reduction in petrol prices. Following are the reduced fares from Lahore to some of the major cities of the country:
| City | Reduced Fare (Rs) |
|---|---|
| Layyah | 100 |
| Bahawalpur | 100 |
| Multan | 200 |
| Muzaffargarh | 250 |
| Fort Abbas | 100 |
| Karachi | 200 |
| Islamabad | 80 |
| Peshawar | 100 |
| Quetta | 200 |
Earlier the caretaker CM Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi, ordered Deputy Commissioners across the province to ensure a reduction in the inter-city transport fares. Furthermore, he also ordered indiscriminate action against those who failed to comply with the government’s directive.
It should be noted that during the last three months, prices of petrol and diesel have been slashed by Rs. 64.04 and Rs. 52.99 per liter, respectively.
