Most of these buses are not going to Haripur
Nearly every seat on this route is on an Abbottabad or Mansehra service that calls at Haripur on the way. That works in your favour on frequency, but it means the through coaches sometimes use the motorway interchange rather than running into town. The local coasters from Pirwadhai are slower and set down inside Haripur, which on a ninety kilometre trip is often the better deal.

Coaster, coach or Abbottabad service
Under two hours and under Rs 600 of spread, so the vehicle and the set-down point decide this rather than the brand.
Local coasters and Hiace
Leave when full from Pirwadhai and run into Haripur itself. Many are not air conditioned, which is the reason for the price, but they are the most useful drop point.
From Rs 450
Motorway Express
Air conditioned coasters from G-8 Markaz and the fastest scheduled run on the corridor. For Rs 150 over the floor, this is usually the right call in summer.
From Rs 600
Hazara Movers
The Hazara division operator, running proper coaches with a hold and the best onward links to Abbottabad, Mansehra and Thakot.
From Rs 800
Daewoo Express
Predictable departures and a proper terminal, at more than double the coaster fare for a ninety kilometre run. Worth it only for a fixed appointment.
From Rs 1,000
Our verdict
Ask where the bus stops before you sort on price. On a ninety minute journey, a coach that leaves you at the interchange rather than in town cancels out both the time and the money it saved. Motorway Express from G-8 is the sensible default, and the Pirwadhai coasters are the better buy if your destination is inside Haripur itself.

Islamabad and Haripur terminals
On a route this short, the departure point in the capital is a meaningful part of the total journey time.
G-8 Markaz, Faizabad and Pirwadhai
- Motorway Express
- G-8 Markaz, which saves the trip out to Pirwadhai entirely.
- Faisal Movers and Daewoo Express
- Board at Faizabad, on the metro line.

- Where the coasters and local services set down, close to the centre.
- Motorway interchange
- Used by some through coaches to Abbottabad, and a short ride short of town.
- Onward connections
- Khanpur, Ghazi, Abbottabad and Havelian all run from the town stands.
Onward from Haripur
Haripur is the gateway to lower Hazara, and several of the places people are actually heading for are short hops from here.
- Khanpur and the dam Half an hour east, and the most common day trip from the capital through Haripur.
- Ghazi and Tarbela West towards the Indus, on local services from the Haripur stands.
- Havelian and Abbottabad North on the Hazara Motorway, roughly forty minutes on the same coaches that brought you.
- Mansehra and the Kaghan road Further north, and better booked as a through service from the twin cities than as a change here.
If Abbottabad or Mansehra is the real destination, the Islamabad to Mansehra and Islamabad to northern areas pages cover those corridors.
