Pakistan Railways has achieved a significant milestone in 2024, earning an impressive Rs 47.7 billion from 41.9 million passengers. This marks a robust recovery and highlights the department’s efforts to revitalize its services amidst economic challenges.
According to official data, the substantial revenue surge is attributed to enhanced operational efficiency, improved services, and targeted promotional campaigns to attract commuters. Key routes such as Karachi-Lahore and Rawalpindi-Peshawar witnessed the highest passenger traffic, contributing significantly to the earnings.
Railway officials emphasized their commitment to providing affordable and efficient travel options for the public while exploring opportunities for further modernization and revenue generation. Plans for the introduction of new trains and upgraded facilities are also in the pipeline for 2025.
This achievement reinforces Pakistan Railways’ position as a vital lifeline for the country’s transportation network and economic growth.
