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.
However, this discount will only be available on current bookings and will not apply to Eid special trains.
The decision for the fare reduction has been made in light of the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Minister for Railways.
