If you are coming for furniture, think about the return
Chiniot’s furniture market is what brings most visitors from the capital, and buses are not built for carrying what people buy there. Workshops arrange their own freight, so settle delivery with the seller rather than assuming you can take anything back on the coach. The bus is for getting you there and home; the goods travel separately.

Our verdict
Kohistan Express at Rs 1,150 does the job, and Bilal Travels at Rs 1,600 is the upgrade worth considering. Four and a half hours in an air conditioned standard seat is perfectly tolerable, so the Rs 850 gap to the executive class is hard to defend. Faisalabad services are the fallback if nothing direct suits.
