Where a 2+1 seat starts to earn its fare
On the four hour run to Lahore a 2+1 upgrade is a nice extra. At six and a half hours to Multan it starts to matter, because this is long enough to want to sleep and short enough that nobody runs a sleeper.
Faisal Movers business at Rs 3,990 is the cheapest 2+1 seat on the route, about Rs 400 below Daewoo Gold. If you are travelling in summer, the newer air conditioning on the premium coaches is worth as much as the extra legroom.
Getting off before Multan
Many Rawalpindi passengers on this route are not going to Multan at all. The M-4 serves several south Punjab cities on the way, and not every coach stops at them.
Faisalabad
- Where
- Off the M-4 at the Sahianwala side of the city.
- Tip
- Faisalabad has its own direct coaches from Rawalpindi. A Multan ticket rarely saves money for this stop.
Gojra and Toba Tek Singh
- Where
- M-4 interchanges between Faisalabad and Khanewal.
- Tip
- Daewoo serves Toba Tek Singh from Rawalpindi. Confirm the set down point before you pay.
Khanewal
- Where
- The last major stop, about 45 minutes before Multan.
- Tip
- Most operators set down here. Ask when you book, because a few premium services run straight through.
How to choose
Travelling to Multan itself, any operator works and the premium ones are fastest. Getting off at Khanewal, Toba Tek Singh or Gojra, book an operator that lists your stop, rather than hoping the driver will pull over at an interchange.
Which is the best bus service from Rawalpindi to Multan
A long daytime run where comfort matters more than on the shorter Punjab routes.
Silk Line economy
Loads on IJP Road near Faizabad and stops more often across south Punjab. Fine for a budget traveller with time.
From Rs 2,500Faisal Movers business
The cheapest 2+1 seat on the route, with three Rawalpindi counters and a large Multan terminal at Vehari Chowk.
From Rs 3,990Daewoo Express Luxury
The shortest scheduled time from its terminal already at the motorway, with Gold Class for 2+1 seating.
From Rs 3,500Our verdict
Take Faisal Movers business at Rs 3,990. Over six and a half hours the 2+1 seat is the upgrade you notice. Choose Daewoo Luxury when arriving on time matters more than the seat, and Silk Line at Rs 2,500 when the fare decides.
Rawalpindi to Multan bus timings
Departures from about 6:00 AM to midnight, roughly every one to two hours across operators.
Early morning
6:00 AM to 9:00 AMArrive in Multan early afternoon. The best choice in summer.
Midday
10:00 AM to 2:00 PMEasiest seats, but the second half runs through the hottest part of the day.
Evening
3:00 PM to 7:00 PMArrives in Multan late evening. Add time for the Pir Wadhai exit.
Night
8:00 PM to midnightPopular with students and traders. Arrival in the small hours, so arrange a pickup.
Plan around the heat, not the traffic
Both motorways are quick at any hour, so traffic matters less here than on the Lahore route. From May to August the bigger issue is heat: a 6:00 AM start keeps the last two hours of the journey out of the afternoon peak, and gets you into Multan while the city is still easy to cross.

Two motorways, one road
The M-2 and M-4 meet at Pindi Bhattian, and from there the route south is motorway all the way to Multan. It is a longer line on the map than the old road through Chiniot and Jhang, but hours faster, which is why every operator on this route uses it.

Multan has both a railway station and an airport, but only the bus keeps the trip to a working day.
Bus
Rs 2,500to Rs 4,400 Gold
Motorway all the way, frequent and far quicker than the railway.
Best all round.
Train
Rs 2,000and up, economy
Mehr Express runs from Rawalpindi via Mianwali, and mainline trains go via Lahore. Both take far longer than the coach.
Only if you prefer rail.
Flight
Rs 15,000and up, one way

Only if time is tight.
Cheapest way to travel from Rawalpindi to Multan
Silk Line economy at around Rs 2,500. The train can come in cheaper in economy, but at ten hours or more it only makes sense if the schedule suits you. For most travellers the Rs 3,990 Faisal Movers business seat is the better buy on a six and a half hour trip.
