Notice that this is cheaper than Quetta
Dera Murad Jamali sits roughly two hundred kilometres short of Quetta on the same road, and the fare reflects that: it comes in below the Quetta price rather than above it, which is the normal pattern for an intermediate stop on a busy corridor. Compare that with the towns beyond Quetta, where every extra hour of mountain road adds sharply to the fare.
