Multan District Administration Lowers Transport Fares Amidst Fuel Price Cut
In response to a recent decrease in petroleum prices, the district administration of Multan has announced a 2% reduction in commercial fares for both passenger and goods transport services. This initiative aims to provide financial relief to citizens amid fluctuating fuel costs.
Regional Transport Authority (RTA) Secretary Mohsin Nisar stated, “After consultations with transporters and under the leadership of the Deputy Commissioner of Multan, we have reduced fares by 2%. This reduction applies to both passenger services and goods transport agencies.”
Impact on Citizens
The decision has led to more affordable travel options for residents. A regular passenger commuting to Vahari shared, “Previously, the fare was 400 rupees, but now it’s been reduced by 50 rupees. However, the reduction in AC vehicle fares hasn’t been sufficient.”
Calls for Further Reductions in Fuel Prices
Citizens have welcomed the recent fare reduction but have appealed to the government to lower petroleum prices further to provide additional economic relief. This sentiment reflects a broader demand for sustained affordability in transportation costs, particularly in light of ongoing economic challenges.
Conclusion
The fare reduction by the Multan district administration marks a positive step toward easing the financial burden on citizens. However, the call for further reductions in fuel prices highlights the need for continued government action to address the economic concerns of the public.
