Lahore to Chishtian Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Timing
The Lahore to Chishtian bus ticket price starts at about Rs 1,300 and reaches Rs 2,700 for Daewoo Luxury. Six operators cover roughly 300 km in around four and a half hours, on the road that strings together the Bahawalnagar district towns.
Short answer: Lahore to Chishtian economy coaches charge Rs 1,300 to Rs 1,550, executive and business Rs 1,850 to Rs 2,150, and Daewoo Luxury runs Rs 2,700. The direct desert edge road is quicker and cheaper than routing via Bahawalpur.

The corridor operator
Bahawalpur Express works the desert edge road as home territory and runs both economy and business on it, with Wi-Fi across the fleet. It is the operator most likely to enter the town rather than pass by, which matters on a string where several stops look similar from a booking screen.
Sugar and cotton country
This belt runs on sugarcane and cotton, and the crushing and ginning seasons bring a rise in commercial travel through the winter. Outside those months the route is quiet and you can generally travel at short notice.
Three towns on one road
Chishtian sits in the middle of a line of towns along the desert edge, and they appear together on most of the same timetables.
Haroonabad
The next town back along the road, a separate booking rather than a nearby suburb.
Chishtian
The largest of the three by some margin, which is why more services actually enter it.
Using Chishtian as the change point
If your destination is one of the smaller places on this string and nothing direct runs, change here rather than at the district headquarters. Chishtian is the biggest town on the road, more services call, and local transport runs in both directions. That is the practical consequence of size rather than administrative rank, and it is the same pattern as Burewala in the cotton belt further north.

Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Chishtian?
Routing decides this, and the direct road wins on both time and fare.
Niazi Express
Air conditioned economy at Rs 1,300 direct, the lowest fare and still half an hour ahead of the premium Bahawalpur routed coaches.
Bahawalpur Express
Economy at Rs 1,550 and business at Rs 1,950, working Chishtian, Haroonabad and Bahawalnagar as a network.
Kohistan Express
Executive at Rs 1,850 direct in 4 hours 40 minutes, part of the Bilal Travels group.
The honest recommendation
Take Bahawalpur Express economy at about Rs 1,550. The Rs 250 over the cheapest ticket buys the operator that works this belt daily and is most likely to set you down in the town. Daewoo Luxury at Rs 2,700 costs more than twice the cheapest fare and arrives an hour later, because it goes round through Bahawalpur.
