Islamabad to Gujrat ticket price by operator

Fateh Sons and the Gujrat Express name
Fateh Sons has run out of Gujrat since 1956 and also trades as Gujrat Express, which catches people out when they compare fares. The two names are the same company, so a quote under one and a quote under the other are not two options. Fateh Sons quotes on request rather than publishing a fare list, so it is worth a phone call if you are travelling as a group.

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Gujrat
Under three hours and under Rs 1,000 of spread, so the sensible question is where the bus sets you down rather than what the seat is like.
Bilal Travels
The fare floor here and a proper GT Road operator, with stops that suit Sarai Alamgir, Kharian and Lalamusa passengers as well as Gujrat itself.
From Rs 900
Fateh Sons
Gujrat’s own company, running since 1956 and also trading as Gujrat Express. Fares are quoted on request rather than published, so call ahead.
On request
Faisal Movers
Two and three quarter hours from Faizabad with the widest departure window. Executive is the sensible class; business adds comfort rather than time on a run this short.
From Rs 1,300
Skyways
Luxury seating for Rs 150 above the fare floor, with departures from both Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The best price to comfort ratio on the route.
From Rs 1,050
Our verdict
Skyways at Rs 1,050 is the sensible booking here. Paying Rs 150 over the floor for a proper reclining seat is worth it; paying Rs 650 over the floor for Daewoo on a three hour GT Road run is not, because the road, not the coach, decides how the journey feels. Book Fateh Sons if you know Gujrat and want a local set-down point.

Midday
10:00 AM to 4:00 PMQuieter and easy to book on the day, including the better classes that fill up by evening.

- Islamabad and Rawalpindi Departures from Faizabad and Pirwadhai through the day.
- Gujar Khan and Sohawa The first hour on the GT Road, with regular set-down points.
- Jhelum and Sarai Alamgir The Jhelum river crossing, and the usual mid-journey stop on this corridor.
