The Government of Pakistan has announced a major relief measure by providing free public transport in Islamabad for one entire month to help citizens manage the recent surge in fuel prices. This initiative specifically targets students, office workers, and daily commuters who are most affected by rising inflation and transport costs.

- Zero Fare: Commuters can travel at no cost on all major bus routes, including the Green and Blue lines, for the next 30 days.
- Budget Allocation: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has allocated Rs 350 Million to cover all fares during this period.
- Strategic Goal: The move is designed to provide immediate fiscal relief against the record-high fuel prices, which have seen petrol reach Rs 458.40 and diesel Rs 520.35.
