LAHORE: Following the latest rise in diesel prices by Rs. 6 per litre, transporters have increased fares on several routes from Lahore, with passengers now facing higher travel costs of up to seventy rupees.
According to transport operators, the fare from Lahore to Bahawalpur has been raised by fifty rupees, the fare to Multan has been increased by forty rupees, while the fare for travel from Lahore to Dera Ghazi Khan has gone up by seventy rupees.
