No relief for citizens as transport fares remain high despite lower fuel prices in Karachi

Commuters in Karachi report that transport fares have not decreased despite a Rs100 per litre drop in petrol and diesel prices, with private operators and ride-hailing services maintaining rates set during the Iran-US war tensions. Passengers claim fares were increased by 40% during heightened fuel costs but urge the Sindh government to intervene and reduce them to pre-conflict levels.
