Poor transport services

We have always heard of mismanagement in different departments of Pakistan. Our transport system is a case in point. People face numerous challenges traveling within and between cities. Passenger coach services in Punjab and Sindh have nothing to write home about. They charge an exorbitant amount from passengers in terms of fare - that too for very pathetic service standards. Even when there is a cut in fuel price, they never cut the fare. And there is no one to keep a check on this. Same is the case with train services. The fares are not commensurate with the services provided. The level of cleanliness inside the coaches, particularly in the washroom, is extremely disappointing. Food is also sold at much higher prices, and the quality is not good either. The government needs to take step to better the services so as to provide comfortable and hassle-free commute.
