Few operators, so book ahead

Unlike the busy Punjab corridors, only a handful of operators run all the way from Rawalpindi to Rahim Yar Khan. The evening coaches fill up, especially before Eid, when families from the twin cities head home to south Punjab.

The Rs 1,000 step from executive to business buys a 2+1 seat. Over eleven hours overnight, it is the upgrade most regular travellers choose.
