Luggage Van Revenue
An official from the Ministry of Railways said that Pakistan Railways earned over Rs 3,959 million in the last three years from brake and luggage vans.
These vans were run both by Pakistan Railways itself and by private companies. The official explained that these services were given to private companies through a transparent bidding process. This means the department invited companies publicly and chose the best offers.
He added that the contracts followed all rules, and the prices were set based on how much money the vans made in the past year.
