Lahore to Topi bus timings

Lahore to Topi bus timings are set by the Rawalpindi departures, so plan the first coach around them.

    12:30 am to 8 pm

    Daewoo Express leaves Lahore at 12:30, 4:30, 6:30 and 10:30 am, noon and 3 pm, Bilal Travels at 1, 6 and 8 am and 4:30 pm, Skyways at 4:30 and 8 am and 2 pm and NATCO at 11 am; about four and a half hours up the M-2.

    Coasters from Pirwadhai and Motorway Express from G-8 Markaz run to Swabi all day; about an hour and three quarters.

  3. The change

    Allow an hour

    Daewoo Express arrives at its Peshawar Road terminal and the other coaches near Faizabad and Pirwadhai, where most northbound coaches and wagons leave, so allow 30 to 45 minutes across Rawalpindi.

  4. Fog and Eid

    Plan ahead

    Winter fog slows the GT Road and the motorway in December and January, and seats sell out before both Eids.
