In a welcome move, the district administration of Multan has announced a 2% reduction in commercial fares for both passenger transport and goods transport companies. This decision comes after a decrease in petroleum prices and is expected to provide relief to commuters in the region.
The Regional Transport Authority (RTA) Secretary, Mohsin Nisar, stated that the reduction in fares was made possible after consultations with transporters and under the leadership of the Deputy Commissioner of Multan. The 2% reduction applies to both passenger services and goods transport agencies, making travel more affordable for citizens.
Commuters in Multan have expressed their satisfaction with the decision, citing reduced fares as a significant relief. A passenger who regularly travels to Vahari mentioned that their fare has been reduced by Rs50, from four hundred rupees to three hundred and fifty rupees. However, some citizens have appealed to the government to reduce petroleum prices further to provide additional relief.
The district administration’s initiative is a positive step towards providing affordable travel options for citizens. With the reduction in transport fares, people can now travel without worrying about the high costs associated with transportation. This move is also expected to boost economic activity in the region, as goods transport agencies will benefit from reduced fares.
The government’s efforts to reduce petroleum prices have had a ripple effect, leading to decreased transport fares. This decision demonstrates the government’s commitment to providing relief to citizens and promoting economic growth.
