New Shandaar Ticket Price, Bus Timings, Online Booking & Contact Number
New Shandaar runs the Karachi to Quetta corridor with sleeper berths from about Rs 3,300, competing directly with Al Saif on the one route in Pakistan where a berth costs less than a premium seat. It is a regional specialist rather than a national network.
Short answer: New Shandaar sleeper berths on the Karachi to Quetta run start around Rs 3,300, which undercuts seated premium classes from the national brands on the same road. It is one of only a handful of Pakistani operators offering berths at all.
New Shandaar ticket price list
The network is built around the Balochistan corridor rather than the Punjab motorway routes, so the fare list is short and the berths are the point.
| Route | Class | Journey time | Ticket price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Karachi to Quetta | Sleeper berth | 10h 30m | Rs 3,300 |
| Karachi to Quetta | Seated | 10h 30m | Rs 2,900 |
| Quetta to Karachi | Sleeper berth | 10h 30m | Rs 3,300 |
| Karachi to Khuzdar | Seated | 6h 30m | Rs 1,900 |
Fares are indicative published prices and vary with fuel adjustments and peak demand. Your live, confirmed fare appears on the seat map before payment.
Why the Quetta berths are cheap
Regional operators including New Shandaar and Al Saif compete hard on this corridor while the national brands charge national rates for the same road. The result is unique on this network: a single berth costs less than AK Movers seated standard. On any other route in Pakistan a berth is the most expensive thing on the page.
What we do not have
New Shandaar does not publish a helpline number, founding date or terminal list through the channels we check, unlike the larger operators. Book through a recognised ticketing platform or at the counter, and verify any phone number you find at the terminal itself rather than trusting a social media listing.
New Shandaar bus classes
Two classes on the main corridor, with the berth the reason most passengers choose this operator over a national brand.
Standard coach
Air conditioned reclining seats on the overnight Quetta run, from about Rs 2,900. The cheaper option and adequate for a ten hour journey.
Sleeper
Flat berths from about Rs 3,300, which on this corridor costs less than premium seated classes from the bigger operators.
Where New Shandaar is worth booking
On the Karachi to Quetta overnight run, take the berth. The Rs 400 gap between seated and sleeper here is the smallest on this site, and the N-25 is single carriageway for much of its length with dualisation still years away, so a night on that road is considerably better spent lying down. What you give up against the national brands is departure frequency and a support network if something goes wrong.

New Shandaar vs Al Saif vs AK Movers
Three operators dominate the Karachi to Quetta corridor, and they split cleanly on price against speed.
| Operator | Berth | Fastest schedule | Known for |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Shandaar | Rs 3,300 | 10h 30m | Berth value on the corridor |
| Al Saif | Rs 3,200 | 10h 30m | Single berth below seated premium |
| AK Movers | No berth | 9h 30m | Fastest schedule, nine cities |
The bottom line
New Shandaar and Al Saif are close enough that whichever has a berth free on your date is the right answer. Choose AK Movers instead if the hour it saves matters more than sleeping flat, which for a daytime traveller it might. All three undercut the national brands on this corridor.
