The Islamabad District Administration has recently announced a reduction in public transport fares by Rs10 in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, in response to the decrease in petroleum prices. This decision, made by the Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad, is applicable to trips exceeding 30 kilometers. The primary goal of this move is to provide relief to commuters who rely on public transportation for their daily travels.
It is crucial to note that strict adherence to the new fares is mandatory, with severe consequences outlined for those who do not comply. Assistant commissioners have been assigned the responsibility of monitoring the revised fares with immediate effect. Any vehicle found not following the updated fares will face stringent measures, as per the directives of the Deputy Commissioner.
This reduction in fares aligns with a similar initiative in Rawalpindi, where a 5 percent decrease in public transport fares has been implemented across all routes. The Rawalpindi Deputy Commissioner has instructed the Regional Transport Authority to visibly display updated fare lists at bus stands and conduct daily checks to ensure compliance.
Both the Islamabad and Rawalpindi administrations are dedicated to passing on the benefits of reduced petroleum prices to the public, with the aim of alleviating the financial strain on commuters. For more information on the new fare structures and compliance measures, residents can visit the official websites of the Islamabad and Rawalpindi District Administrations.
The reduction in public transport fares in Islamabad and Rawalpindi comes as a welcome relief for commuters, especially during these challenging times. By implementing these measures, the authorities are demonstrating their commitment to supporting the public and easing the burden of transportation costs. It is essential for all commuters to adhere to the new fare regulations to avoid any potential consequences and contribute to a smoother commuting experience for everyone.
