Government Warns Transporters to Reduce Fares or Face Strict Action
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterLinkedinWhatsapp

Due to the volatile fuel prices over the previous six months, intercity, intracity, and goods transporters have refused to lower their rates.

The carriers claimed that the government unfairly increased fuel costs by more than Rs. 100 per litre while only decreasing them by Rs. 12.63. The District Regional Transport Authority (DRTA) called a meeting with transporters to discuss lowering fees as a result.

Furthermore, the Commissioner of Rawalpindi Division has asked for a fare decrease. He insisted that the meeting would happen today and promised tough measures would be taken against transporters who refused. Today is the scheduled date for the conference.

The public is now extremely concerned about the rising cost of gasoline and the increase in inflation. According to a media report, cargo carriers establish their own rates without contacting the district administration. Currently, local taxis charge Rs. 40 per stop and over Rs. 100 for the last stop.

Local transportation providers charged Rs. 12 per stop and Rs. 40 for the final stop when the price of gasoline was Rs. 127.30 per litre. In reaction to the nation’s increasing POL prices, Pakistan Railways has also increased fares.

Due to the rise in the cost of fuel and diesel, taxis, rickshaws, and other forms of transportation have also increased their rates by more than 100%. The recent increase in inflation and the government’s inability to manage it have earned the fury of the populace.

With these challenges, trade, commerce, and industries have been severely affected, doing further damage to the economy.
