Sadiqabad is the next town south
Sadiqabad sits down the same motorway and is where Waraich Express is headquartered, which is part of why that operator prices this corridor so keenly. They are separate towns, so name the one you want.
Mango country
This district is one of the main mango growing areas of south Punjab, and the summer season brings a rise in commercial travel. It coincides with the hottest months, so an evening departure arriving in the morning is the sensible pattern then.
A destination in its own right
Most towns on the M-5 get their services from through traffic. Rahim Yar Khan generates its own, which changes what you can expect at the far end.
Not a set-down
Operators run to this city deliberately, so you are far less likely to be dropped at an interchange than at Lodhran or Ghotki.
Proper counters
The volume of traffic supports staffed facilities, which is not true of most towns on this stretch.
Nine operators
Enough that booking ahead is optional outside Eid, unusual this far south.
What that means for you
This is one of the few south Punjab routes where you can simply pick a class and a departure time. There is no set-down question to ask, no thin timetable to work around, and no better served neighbour to consider booking instead. Take the cheapest air conditioned economy if you are travelling light, or a mid class if six and a half hours in a narrow seat does not appeal, and leave it at that.

Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Rahim Yar Khan?
Nine operators on one motorway, so this comes down to class and refund terms rather than routing.
Waraich Express
Air conditioned economy at Rs 2,300, the lowest fare, an hour behind the quickest on a six and a half hour run.
Al Makkah Coach
Executive at Rs 2,850 from a Multan based operator that works this stretch as home territory.
Road Master
President Cruise at Rs 3,200, a premium seated class priced below Faisal Movers Business.
The honest recommendation
Take Al Makkah Coach executive at about Rs 2,850. Six and a half hours is long enough that the seat registers, and the Rs 550 over the cheapest ticket is a reasonable price for that plus twenty minutes. Waraich Express at Rs 2,300 is the pick if fare is the priority, and unlike most routes on this site nothing here needs a caveat about set-downs.
