Road Master Ticket Price, Bus Timings, Online Booking & Contact Number
The Road Master ticket price runs from about Rs 850 on short routes to Rs 2,600 for President Cruise on the longer Punjab corridors. Launched by the Master Group, it is the newest premium operator on Pakistan’s motorway routes and the first to run a hybrid online and terminal ticketing system.
Short answer: Road Master prices between the value operators and Daewoo Express. Expect Rs 1,900 Lahore to Islamabad in Premium Cruise, Rs 2,050 Lahore to Multan and Rs 900 Lahore to Faisalabad. President Cruise costs roughly 25 to 40 percent more and is the only upgrade on offer, since there is no sleeper anywhere on the network.
Road Master ticket price list for popular routes
The Road Master ticket price list covers a focused set of motorway corridors rather than a nationwide map. Both classes run on most of these routes, so the choice on any given journey is usually between Premium Cruise and President Cruise rather than between operators.
| Route | Journey time | Premium Cruise | President Cruise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lahore to Multan | 4h 30m | Rs 2,050 | Rs 2,600 |
| Multan to Lahore | 4h 30m | Rs 2,050 | Rs 2,600 |
| Lahore to Islamabad | 4h 45m | Rs 1,900 | Rs 2,450 |
| Islamabad to Lahore | 4h 45m | Rs 1,900 | Rs 2,450 |
| Islamabad to Peshawar | 2h 30m | Rs 1,050 | Rs 1,400 |
| Peshawar to Islamabad | 2h 30m | Rs 1,050 | Rs 1,400 |
| Lahore to Faisalabad | 2h 15m | Rs 900 | Rs 1,250 |
| Faisalabad to Lahore | 2h 15m | Rs 900 | Rs 1,250 |
Fares are indicative published prices and vary with fuel adjustments and peak demand. Your live, confirmed fare appears on the seat map before payment.
A narrow network, priced to win on it
Road Master does not attempt the nationwide coverage that Faisal Movers or Niazi Express offer. It concentrates on the motorway corridors out of Lahore, Islamabad and Multan and prices aggressively there, typically undercutting Daewoo Express while running newer vehicles than the value operators. If your route is on its map, it is usually worth checking. If it is not, there is no point looking.
Road Master bus classes: Premium Cruise and President Cruise
Road Master bus classes are simpler than most operators offer. There are two, Premium Cruise and President Cruise, and they run on the same routes with different seating rather than different schedules. Choosing between them is the only class decision you need to make.
Premium Cruise
2 + 2The standard class and the one most passengers travel in.
- Spacious reclining seat, four per row
- Onboard entertainment system
- Air conditioning and charging points
- Refreshments on longer routes
President Cruise
2 + 1The premium tier, with three seats per row instead of four.
- Single seat on one side of the aisle
- Deeper recline and more legroom
- Enhanced refreshment service
- Roughly 25 to 40 percent above Premium
Economy
Not offeredRoad Master does not compete at the bottom of the market.
- Premium Cruise is the entry class
- Regional operators undercut it on price
- Positioning is comfort first
- Consider Silk Line or Bilal Travels for budget seats
Sleeper
Not offeredNo berths anywhere on the Road Master network.
- President Cruise is the top tier
- Routes are mostly under five hours
- No overnight long haul service
- Faisal Movers or Daewoo for a berth
Is President Cruise worth the upgrade?
On Lahore to Faisalabad or Islamabad to Peshawar, both around two hours, the extra Rs 350 buys very little you will notice. On Lahore to Multan or Lahore to Islamabad at four and a half hours, the 2+1 layout means you are never wedged against a stranger for the length of the journey, and at Rs 550 more it is priced below what Daewoo charges for the equivalent Gold Class seat. That is the case where it makes sense.
Road Master bus timings and departure frequency
Road Master bus timings concentrate on the daytime motorway corridors, with frequent departures on Lahore to Islamabad and Lahore to Multan through the working day. It runs fewer overnight services than the established operators, which suits its route map.
Morning
5:00 to 9:00 AMThe busiest block on the Punjab corridors, carrying business travellers who want to arrive before midday.
Midday
10:00 AM to 3:00 PMRegular departures with the widest seat choice, including President Cruise availability at short notice.
Evening
4:00 to 9:00 PMSecond peak on Lahore to Islamabad. Allow extra time getting out of Lahore at Thokar during the rush.
Late night
LimitedFewer overnight departures than Faisal Movers or Daewoo. Check the schedule if you need a service after 10 PM.
How reliable are Road Master departure times?
Good for a newer operator, helped by a young fleet and a deliberately narrow route map. Running fewer corridors means fewer knock on delays from coaches arriving late off other services, which is a genuine structural advantage over operators juggling two hundred destinations. The counterweight is a smaller terminal network, so if something does go wrong there are fewer alternative departures to move you onto.
Road Master contact number, helpline and customer support
The Road Master contact number for bookings, schedule changes and cargo enquiries is 111-722-822, with a 24 hour mobile line at 0310-1722822. Both handle passenger bookings and the company’s cargo service.
Helpline and head office
Road Master operates a single national helpline rather than city specific UANs, which makes contact simpler than with the older operators. The main Lahore terminal is on Main Band Road near Gulshan-e-Ravi.
- National helpline
- 111-722-822
- Mobile, 24/7
- 0310-1722822
- Online booking
- roadmaster.pk
- Mobile apps
- Android and iOS
Numbers change occasionally, so verify at the terminal before relying on them, and treat unfamiliar numbers advertised on social media with caution.
Reserving a seat
Road Master runs a hybrid ticketing system, so a booking made online, in the app or at a counter sits in the same system. That means a phone reservation can be collected at the terminal without re-entering your details.
Cancellations and refunds
Cancellation and rescheduling terms depend on the fare rules attached to your ticket. Contact the helpline as early as you can, since options narrow considerably in the hours before departure.
Road Master Cargo
The company runs a parcel and freight service alongside passenger travel, using the same terminal network and the same helpline. Useful if you are sending goods along a corridor it already serves.
Road Master terminals and boarding points in Pakistan
Road Master runs a compact terminal network matched to its route map, concentrated on Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Multan. A newer sub terminal has opened in Lahore alongside the main Band Road facility.
Lahore
- Main Band Road, near Gulshan-e-Ravi
- The primary Lahore terminal and origin point for most Road Master routes.
- New Lahore sub terminal
- A recently opened second boarding point. Confirm which one your ticket names before travel day.
Islamabad
- Islamabad Bus Terminal, Chungi No. 26
- On the Peshawar Road corridor, close to the motorway entry.
Rawalpindi
- 26 No. Chungi
- Serving the twin cities alongside the Islamabad terminal.
Multan
- Hassanabad, Gate No. 1
- Main Khanewal Road near Qazzafi Chowk. The southern anchor of the network.
Faisalabad

- Serving the Lahore corridor. Confirm the boarding point on the helpline when booking.
Network note
- Focused coverage
- Road Master does not serve Karachi, Quetta or most of Sindh and Balochistan. For those routes you need a different operator.
Onboard facilities included in the Road Master ticket price
The Road Master ticket price includes the facilities you would expect from a newer premium fleet, with the main difference between classes being seat width rather than what is served on board.

Road Master vs Daewoo Express vs Faisal Movers ticket price compared
Comparing the Road Master ticket price against the established operators on the same route shows a newer fleet at a lower price than Daewoo, with a far smaller network than either of the two incumbents.
| Operator | Entry fare | Premium fare | Network | Known for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Road Master | Rs 1,900 | Rs 2,450 | Punjab and KP | Newest fleet, hybrid ticketing |
| Faisal Movers | Rs 2,000 | Rs 2,750 | 200+ cities | Widest network, most departures |
| Daewoo Express | Rs 2,670 | Rs 3,200 | 80+ cities | Punctuality and terminal quality |
Is the Road Master ticket price worth it?
On Lahore to Islamabad it undercuts Daewoo by roughly Rs 770 and Faisal Movers by Rs 100 with a newer fleet than either. Here is the honest case on both sides.
Worth choosing when
- Your route is one of its Punjab or KP motorway corridors
- You want a newer coach without paying Daewoo prices
- President Cruise 2+1 seating appeals at below Gold Class money
- You prefer booking in an app with counter collection
- You are travelling in daylight on a four to five hour journey
Look elsewhere when
- Your destination is Karachi, Quetta or anywhere in Sindh
- You want the cheapest seat, since there is no economy class
- You need a sleeper berth on an overnight route
- You want a late night departure after about 10 PM
- You need the fallback of frequent alternative departures if plans change
The bottom line
Road Master is the newer fleet at a fair price option, and on the handful of corridors it serves that is a genuinely strong proposition. It undercuts Daewoo with comparable seating and beats the value operators on vehicle quality. The limitation is coverage: outside Punjab and the KP motorway routes it simply is not an option, so it works best as a route specific choice rather than a default operator.

What is the Road Master contact number?

The upgrade costs roughly 25 to 40 percent more depending on the route.
Does Road Master have a sleeper bus?
No. President Cruise is the top tier and there are no berths anywhere on the network. Most Road Master routes are under five hours, so a sleeper would make little sense. For an overnight berth on a long corridor, Faisal Movers or Daewoo Express are the operators to look at.

Who owns Road Master?
Road Master was launched by the Master Group, the industrial group behind Master Motors, as a premium intercity service. That backing is the reason its fleet is newer than most competitors and why it introduced a hybrid ticketing system covering online, app and counter bookings in a single record.
Where is the Road Master terminal in Lahore?
The main Lahore terminal is on Main Band Road near Gulshan-e-Ravi. A newer sub terminal has also opened in the city, so check which address your ticket names before travel day rather than assuming the main one.
Can I send cargo with Road Master?
Yes. Road Master Cargo runs a parcel and freight service along the same corridors as its passenger network, bookable at any terminal or on the same helpline. It is a practical option if you are sending goods between Lahore, Islamabad and Multan.
