Two ways in, and they set you down in different places
Services reach Kamalia either from Faisalabad through Toba Tek Singh or from the Sahiwal side through Chichawatni. Both take about the same time. The difference is where they stop: the Faisalabad approach comes into the town from the north and the Sahiwal approach from the south-east, and each has its own set-down point. If someone is meeting you, that detail is worth settling in advance.

Our verdict
Bilal Travels at Rs 1,750 is the pick here. It is the fastest, it is a luxury seat, and it is Rs 750 below business class for the same arrival time. Kohistan Express at Rs 1,450 is fine if you want to spend less; the local coaches only make sense if your stop is somewhere between Toba Tek Singh and Kamalia.
