Rush of passengers returning home for Eid intensifies

FAISALABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Mar, 2026) A rush of passengers returning to their hometowns to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with their

families was witnessed at major transport points across Faisalabad on Friday while the

district administration and transport authorities made comprehensive arrangements to facilitate

travelers and prevent overcharging of fares.

Railway stations, general bus stands and private transport terminals remained crowded throughout the

day as thousands of people continued leaving the city for different districts of Punjab and other parts

of the country.

Long queues of passengers were seen at booking counters while many families carrying luggage

waited patiently for buses and trains to reach their destinations before the Eid.

A spokesman for the transport department said that special monitoring teams had been deployed at

all major bus terminals to ensure that transporters strictly follow the approved fare lists.

He said that the authorities would not allow any transport company to charge extra fares from passengers

and strict action would be taken against violators.
