LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has informed that public transport fares in Punjab have been decreased by Rs 30 to 70 after a reduction in petroleum prices by the federal government.
Punjab is the only province where this relief is being passed on to the people, and passengers are being refunded, she said, adding that after petrol prices decreased, Maryam Nawaz and her team worked hard to implement the fruits of decreased fares.
She said: “Chief Minister Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, has ensured that fare reductions are implemented under all circumstances. No other province, besides Punjab, has reduced fares after petrol prices drop. The district administration is actively checking the fare list at all bus terminals. Strict action will be taken against transporters charging higher fares.”
Minister Azma urged transporters to cooperate with the government, noting that the government is monitoring the situation to ensure compliance with the fare reductions.
