Dera Ismail Khan is the practical hub
Tank sits about forty minutes west of Dera Ismail Khan, which has far more frequency from Peshawar and a Daewoo terminal. If the direct services do not suit your timing, reaching Dera Ismail Khan and continuing is straightforward and costs little more, which is not true of most towns this far from the main corridors.
Carry your CNIC and check conditions
Tank sits at the edge of the settled districts and conditions on the roads west change more often than elsewhere in the province. Expect checks, and confirm the current situation locally rather than relying on a timetable if you are continuing beyond the town.
Tank and the frontier
Tank is a district town at the western edge of the settled areas, on the road toward South Waziristan.
Forty minutes east
The regional hub with a Daewoo terminal and far more Peshawar frequency.
North east
On the corridor between Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan, served by the same operators.
West
The road continues toward South Waziristan. Confirm current conditions before planning travel that way.
Check conditions before travelling further west
Carry your CNIC, keep it accessible, and confirm the current situation locally rather than relying on a timetable if you are continuing past Tank. This is the point at which the scheduled network stops being the thing that governs your journey. For the town itself the arrangements are ordinary; beyond it they are not, and no published schedule is a substitute for asking on the ground.

Which is the best bus service from Peshawar to Tank?
Five to six hours, where the departure time matters more than the class.
Adil Shah Coaches
Rs 1,400, an hour slower but running the corridor regularly.
Afridi Movers
Rs 1,600 from the operator whose southern KP network this is.
New Khan
Business at Rs 1,700 on a quicker schedule.
The honest recommendation
Take Afridi Movers at about Rs 1,600 on a morning departure, and treat Dera Ismail Khan as the fallback rather than the compromise. Afternoon services on this corridor are thin enough that waiting for one can cost you the day, whereas DI Khan runs frequently and leaves you forty minutes short. The Rs 500 gap up to Executive buys a better seat but not a better arrival.
