Fares by operator

Islamabad to Vehari ticket price by operator

Vehari sits between the Sahiwal corridor and the Multan corridor, and operators reach it from either side, which gives the Islamabad to Vehari ticket price more competition than the town’s size suggests.

The district headquarters is not the transport hub

Vehari is where the district administration sits, but Burewala twenty five kilometres away is where the buses go. That inversion catches people out. If nothing direct to Vehari suits your timing, booking to Burewala and taking a local coach across is not a compromise; it is often what the through passengers do anyway.

The real choice

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Vehari

Three operators across two approaches, and Burewala behind them all as the fallback.

Cheapest

Kohistan Express

The fare floor and air conditioned, via Sahiwal, at the cost of an extra half hour on the road.

Best value

Bilal Travels

A luxury seat for Rs 300 over the floor via Sahiwal and Burewala, on the operator most at home in this belt.

Via Multan

Skyways

The Multan approach, which is the one to book if you are connecting onward towards Khanewal, Multan or the south.

From Rs 2,200

Our verdict

Bilal Travels at Rs 2,000 is the right seat for a seven and a half hour run. It is joint fastest, it is a luxury seat, and it saves Rs 900 against business class. Take Skyways instead if your onward connection is through Multan, and fall back to a Burewala booking rather than waiting hours for a direct Vehari service.
