Following the recent increase in petrol and diesel prices, transporters across the country have raised fares, adding further burden on the public. Intercity transport fares have seen an increase of up to Rs. 200.
As per the latest fare revisions, the fare from Lahore to Karachi has increased from Rs. 5,200 to Rs. 5,400. The fare for Sukkur has gone up from Rs. 3,250 to Rs. 3,400, while the fare for Sadiqabad has risen from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 3,150. Similarly, the fare for Faisalabad has increased from Rs. 760 to Rs. 830.
Passengers have voiced concerns, urging authorities to establish a proper monitoring system at bus terminals to regulate fare adjustments and ensure that the public is protected from unfair increases.
The Secretary of the Regional Transport Authority has stated that strict action is being taken against transporters who impose excessive fare hikes beyond approved limits.
