Example Calculation
Inputs
- Distance: 15 km
- Ambulance Type: basic
For a 15 km trip in a basic private ambulance (PKR 1,500 base + PKR 80/km), the distance charge is 15 × 80 = PKR 1,200, giving an estimated total of PKR 2,700. Switching to an ICU ambulance raises both the base charge and the per-km rate.
