Lahore to Sahiwal Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Timing
The Lahore to Sahiwal bus ticket price starts at about Rs 700 and reaches Rs 1,800 for Daewoo Luxury. Nine operators cover the 170 km run in around two and a half hours, and it is one of the few short routes with a proper terminal at both ends.
Short answer: Lahore to Sahiwal economy coaches charge Rs 700 to Rs 900, business and executive Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,300, and Daewoo Luxury runs Rs 1,800. On a two and a half hour journey the premium classes are difficult to justify unless you are connecting onward.

Where the Lahore services leave from
Daewoo and Faisal Movers run from their own Lahore terminals, while Bilal Travels and Kainat Travels share the counters at Chowk Yateem Khana on Band Road. The regional operators load at Badami Bagh Lari Ada. On a two and a half hour trip, which terminal is nearest you matters about as much as the fare.
Harappa is close, but not on the coach route
The archaeological site sits roughly twenty five kilometres from Sahiwal and the town is the natural base for it. No intercity service goes there directly, so plan local transport or a hire and allow most of a day.
A terminal at both ends of a short route
Daewoo runs hubs at Lahore, Rawalpindi, Karachi, Peshawar, Multan, Faisalabad, Dera Ismail Khan and Sahiwal. Very few short routes connect two of them.
Staffed at both ends
Proper ticketing and departure information rather than a roadside agent, which matters if plans change on the day.
Scheduled, not set down
Sahiwal gets services in its own right rather than drops from Multan runs, so the timetable is denser than the town’s size suggests.
Freight both directions
Useful if you are sending goods rather than travelling, and not something most towns on this corridor offer.
Breaking a longer journey here
If you are heading to Multan or further south, Sahiwal is a genuinely comfortable place to stop. That is not true of most intermediate towns on this corridor, where a break means standing at a highway stop. Here you can wait properly, switch operator, or pick up a later service without difficulty, which makes a two leg journey a real option rather than a compromise.
Lahore to Sahiwal bus timings and departure frequency
A departure every half hour to an hour from early morning until late, since the whole Multan corridor runs through.
Early morning
5 AM to 8 AMHeaviest block, carrying business traffic and same day returns.
Through the day
Every 30 to 60 minDedicated Sahiwal services plus Multan corridor coaches stopping en route.
Evening
Until lateLater departures arriving at night, useful if you are being collected.
Winter fog
December to JanuaryThe corridor fogs badly and a two and a half hour trip can run to four.
Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Sahiwal?
On a short competitive corridor where everything is air conditioned, the terminal and the departure time matter more than the brand.
Rajput Travels
Air conditioned economy at Rs 700, the lowest on the route, arriving half an hour behind coaches costing more than twice as much.
Daewoo Express
Luxury at Rs 1,800 with a hub terminal at both ends. The pick if you are connecting onward or sending cargo.
Kainat Travels
Executive at Rs 950 on a 2 hour 45 minute schedule from the shared Band Road counters, with no booking fee.
The honest recommendation
Take Rajput Travels or Skyways economy at Rs 700 to Rs 780 for an ordinary trip. Both are air conditioned and arrive within half an hour of the premium coaches on a journey this short. Choose Daewoo at Rs 1,800 only if the hub terminals genuinely save you two rickshaw rides or you are continuing south, because otherwise it is two and a half times the fare for the same road and the same afternoon.
