Sadiqabad to Islamabad Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Service Timing
The Sadiqabad to Islamabad bus ticket price starts at about Rs 3,900 on Daewoo, and the 806 km trip takes nine to ten hours. The practical question is where in the capital you want to finish, because Daewoo arrives at its twin cities terminal on Peshawar Road while Royal Movers terminates at Faizabad, on the Islamabad side.
Short answer: Sadiqabad to Islamabad costs about Rs 3,900 with Daewoo and Rs 4,200 with Royal Movers’ business class, and takes nine to ten hours. Daewoo runs from about 11 AM to 11 PM. For sectors in Islamabad itself, Royal Movers’ Faizabad drop is the most convenient; Daewoo’s terminal is nearer the motorway and the airport side.

What you are paying for
Bahawalpur Express, a south Punjab operator running to its Faizabad terminal, is likely the lowest fare here, though its figure is an estimate. Daewoo is the cheapest confirmed seat to the capital and runs the most predictable timetable. Royal Movers costs about Rs 300 more but sells only business class 2+1 seats on this route, so the extra buys width, not speed.
Faisal Movers and Waraich sit between the two. Their fares move with season more than Daewoo’s, so compare on the day, particularly before Eid, when all four fill up.
