Check whether the bus stops at Khanewal or runs on to Multan
Khanewal is about 45 km short of Multan, and the majority of coaches on this corridor are Multan services. Some call properly at Khanewal, some set down on the bypass, and a few will not stop at all unless the ticket says so. Booking to Multan and coming back is a slow way to fix that, so confirm at the counter. Operators that list Khanewal as a destination rather than a stop are the safer choice.

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Khanewal
Five operators run this corridor, and the useful question is whether the service treats Khanewal as a destination or a stop on the way to Multan.
Bilal Travels
The fare floor here and air conditioned at that price, with the belt town stops that suit anyone getting down before Khanewal.
From Rs 1,400
Kohistan Express
A proper luxury seat for Rs 300 over the floor on the faster M-4 routing. The clearest value step on this fare table.
From Rs 1,700
Faisal Movers
Seven hours with the widest departure window, and business class if you would rather do the run overnight and arrive fresh.
From Rs 1,900
Daewoo Express
Proper terminals and predictable timing, at more than double the fare floor for the same seven and a half hours.
From Rs 3,000
Our verdict
Kohistan Express at Rs 1,700 is the pick, provided you confirm it stops properly at Khanewal. On a corridor where nearly every coach is really going to Multan, the stop is worth more than the seat: a bus that leaves you on the bypass at 2:00 AM has undone whatever it saved you. Ask first, then sort on price.

- Khanewal Arrival seven to eight hours after departure, in the city or on the bypass.
