A representative from the Railway Transport Joint Stock Company announced that the railway sector is adjusting passenger train ticket prices for many routes during the peak summer season. This decision comes as domestic fuel prices continue to decline, reflecting more favorable input costs and a commitment to sharing benefits with passengers.

This latest fare adjustment aims to reduce travel expenses for the public while encouraging more people to choose rail as their preferred mode of transport.
