A core town for three specialist operators
New Khan has run Layyah as part of its Mianwali, Bhakkar, Sargodha and Dera Ismail Khan network since 1956. Baloch Transport has covered it since 1955 and Niazi Express reaches it among 150 plus destinations. Three operators treating a town this size as core rather than outlying is unusual, and it means through bookings deeper into the Thal are available.
Layyah between the rivers
Layyah sits in the doab between the Indus and the Jhelum, on the edge of the Thal desert.
North
Further up the Thal on the same network, served by the same operators.
South
Down the western bank toward Multan, and the practical change point if timings do not suit.
In the district
Both served by Baloch Transport as part of its western network.
Book through rather than in legs
All three specialist operators run Layyah as part of a wider network. If you are continuing to Bhakkar, Karor or Choubara, a through booking saves a change and is almost always cheaper than two legs, which is not true if you book with a national brand and change locally.
