Official table in force from 20 Apr 2025

Pakistan Railways changed fares after this table was published: news reports in March 2026 described an increase of about 5% in economy and 10% in AC classes, and later reports said the government froze further rises. We have not found an updated official table, so the fares here can be lower than what you will pay. RABTA shows the current fare. Sources for the change: Dawn, Profit.
