Yes they’re showings profit but at what cost ?? The quality of trains is getting worsen with each passing day … I recently went on a Pakistan tour via Business class ticket of train and the condition of their compartments and washrooms was really really bad … Like I was travelling in Economy class … Plus the tracks were damaged in Sindh due to which Green Train (which has maximum stops of 5-6) was stopping after every half an hour. The whole journey was a nightmare. So if you’re giving this type of service and showing profit then it’s not worth it !!!
I agree with you I was traveling from Queeta to sukkur in jaffer express and near mastung bomb blasted due to which I could not reach my destination
If these figures correct congratulation to administration of railway irrespective of party affiliation. Privatize sale of tickets of train.
The most important thing is to improve track. For that railway don’t need all the money in lum sum. Invite public subscription of shares. Perform it and make attraction for general public.
Banks are also converting Islamic mode of financing. Do it. Don’t borrow from abroad. Build motor ways with public private partnership.

Sir, thanks God that we have entered in a era profit. I suggest that by utilizing this amount and take loan from provincial governments to improve your track immediately, lot of incidents of derailed trains are increasing day by day .so please take this job on priority to save the rail . regards
Safety is the paramount concern particularly providing train service to commute passenger. Derailing of wagons and frequent incidents/accidents are high risk and needs immediate attention at all level to regain passenger/user confidence. Next comes passenger comfort and convenience that should be ensured with state regulatory oversight to the job honestly and effectively to ensure the safety, comfort and convenience. Parasites that have eaten away the assets and operational viability are known and identified time and again be eliminated or may be reduced with sincere efforts and commercial acumen.
This is a very positive sign. If the intention is right, all kinds of corruption and evil can be eradicated with competent and honest leadership, while staying away from political appointments in all government institutions and departments.
They need to focus on fright trains more, to make money. Their roads r good people can travel by bus.
Soon they will start suffering losses if they continue with poor standard of in-train services
