A berth for less than a seat
The Karachi to Quetta corridor is unusual in that the sleeper coaches are cheaper than the premium seated ones. Al Saif at Rs 3,200 for a single berth costs Rs 2,300 less than AK Movers seated standard and Rs 2,600 less than Daewoo Luxury. For a ten and a half hour overnight journey, that is the clearest value decision available anywhere on this network.
Reclining berths, not flatbeds
Sleeper on the Karachi to Quetta corridor means seats built to lie back almost fully, not the six foot flatbeds you get on the Lahore to Karachi services. Setting expectations correctly matters before you book.
A deep recliner
The single berth layout gives you your own space with a seat that reclines close to flat. It is a substantial improvement on an upright seat for an overnight journey, without being a bed.
Regional operators competing
Al Saif, New Shandaar and Abdali Movers are Balochistan corridor specialists competing on price. The national brands charge national rates on the same road, which produces the gap.
No onboard washroom
No sleeper coach in Pakistan carries a washroom, and on the N-25 the scheduled stops are further apart than on the motorway corridors, with the main break around Khuzdar.
Single or paired berth
Al Saif’s single berth at Rs 3,200 sits above New Shandaar’s paired sleeper at Rs 2,500 and its single at Rs 3,000. For an overnight journey of this length, the single berth is worth the few hundred rupees over a paired one, since you are not sharing the space with a stranger. Compare the three regional sleeper operators before booking, as their fares sit close together.
What the Al Saif ticket price includes
Al Saif positions itself around safety, comfort and affordability, aiming to make travel between Karachi and Quetta accessible. The onboard offering matches that: a proper berth at a modest fare rather than an extensive service.

Al Saif Bus Service ticket price FAQs
What is the Al Saif Bus Service ticket price?
Around Rs 3,200 for a single berth sleeper between Karachi and Quetta. That is roughly Rs 2,300 below the premium seated coaches on the same corridor, which is unusual and the main reason to consider this operator.
Is the Al Saif sleeper a proper bed?
Not quite. On the Karachi to Quetta corridor, sleeper means a seat built to recline almost fully rather than a six foot flatbed like those on the Lahore to Karachi services. It is a substantial improvement on an upright seat for an overnight journey, but set your expectations to a deep recliner.
Does the Al Saif sleeper have a washroom?
No. No sleeper coach in Pakistan carries an onboard washroom, and on the N-25 the scheduled stops are further apart than on the motorway routes, with the main break usually at Khuzdar around six hours in. Plan around that.
Which routes does Al Saif operate?
Karachi and Quetta, in both directions. It is a single corridor operator rather than a national network, which is common among the Balochistan sleeper specialists.
Is Al Saif the same as Al Saif Coaches or Al Saif Daewoo?
Yes, the same operator appears under all three names in different listings. Check which name your ticket carries and ask at the correct counter, since Karachi terminals host several companies at the same address.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three days normally, and a week around Eid. Departures on this corridor are concentrated into a five hour evening window across a handful of operators, so a sold out coach means waiting a full day rather than an hour.
