LAHORE – Pakistan Railways has announced major relief for passengers on the occasion of Eidul Azha 2025.
According to a statement issued by the Railways Headquarters in Lahore, there will be a 20% reduction in fares on the first, second, and third days of the Eid.
The discount on fares will be applicable to all trains and classes operated under Pakistan Railways during the three days of Eid.
