Silk Line covers the whole range
Silk Line sells Economy, Executive and Business on this corridor, spanning Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,600 with one operator. That is useful if you know the company and want to pick a comfort level rather than shop across brands. Founded in 2020, it is the newest major operator covered on this site and has built its network specifically around Lahore to south Punjab.
Which operator suits your journey
At five to six hours this is a comfortable daytime run. The choice comes down to whether you want the cheapest seat, the best seat, or the operator that also serves your onward town.
Silk Line Economy
Rs 1,500, and the operator that also reaches Rajanpur, Muzaffargarh, Alipur, Jatoi and Dera Ghazi Khan if Bahawalpur is not your final stop. Online discounts of up to 20 percent.
Silk Line or Skyways Executive
Rs 2,100 to Rs 2,300 for a better seat on a five and a half hour run. The tier most people settle on for a daytime journey of this length.
Road Master President Cruise
Rs 3,150 for 2+1 seating with three seats per row. On a daytime journey where you might want to work, the single seat is the most noticeable upgrade.
The online discount is worth checking
Silk Line advertises discounts of up to 20 percent on tickets booked online. On a Rs 2,600 Business fare that is worth over Rs 500, which closes most of the gap to Executive. Compare the discounted online price rather than the counter fare before deciding which class to take.

Lahore and Bahawalpur terminals
Band Road is the main southbound area in Lahore, though several operators run from their own terminals elsewhere in the city.
Band Road and private terminals
Silk Line boards at Rahbar Travels on Band Road. Faisal Movers uses Abdullah Travels, also on Band Road. Daewoo, Skyways and Road Master run their own separate terminals.
Band Road hosts several operators at different points along it.
Main bus terminal
Most operators use the main terminal area. Confirm the drop point for services continuing further south, since some set down on the bypass rather than in the city.
Ask for your operator’s counter by name.
Continuing into the division
Bahawalpur is the gateway to a large area of southern Punjab, and several operators run through rather than terminating there.
- Silk Line continues to Rajanpur, Muzaffargarh, Alipur, Jatoi and Dera Ghazi Khan on its south Punjab network.
- Bahawalpur Express serves Hasilpur, Khanpur and Sadiqabad, though its network runs from the twin cities rather than Lahore.
- Waraich Express reaches Sadiqabad and the southern towns from its Karachi network.
- Book the through service rather than two legs if you are continuing, since the through fare is almost always lower.
- Multan is the alternative hub if your onward destination is west rather than south.
Bahawalpur or Multan as your interchange
If your final destination is in south Punjab but not Bahawalpur itself, check which hub serves it better. Multan is the interchange for the Indus belt and the western towns, Bahawalpur for the Cholistan side and the route toward Sadiqabad. Picking the wrong one can add hours to a journey that is otherwise straightforward.
