Islamabad to Sibi Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Timing
The Islamabad to Sibi ticket price starts at about Rs 2,800 and rises to roughly Rs 4,400 in business class. The journey covers around 1,150 km and takes fifteen hours, and Sibi’s summer heat is not something to travel through casually.
Short answer: the Islamabad to Sibi bus ticket price runs from about Rs 2,800 on Sania Express to about Rs 4,400 for Faisal Movers business class. Sibi sits at the foot of the Bolan Pass, below Quetta.
Islamabad to Sibi ticket price by operator
Sibi is the last town on the plain before the climb to Quetta, and every Quetta service passes through it, which keeps the Islamabad to Sibi ticket price below the Quetta fare.
| Bus operator | Class | Route | Journey time | Ticket price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sania Express | Standard seated, air conditioned | Rawalpindi to Sibi via Jacobabad | 15h 30m | Rs 2,800 |
| Baloch Transport | Standard seated, air conditioned | Rawalpindi to Sibi, Quetta service | 15h | Rs 3,000 |
| Super Mekhtar | Luxury, air conditioned | Islamabad to Sibi, Quetta corridor | 15h | Rs 3,300 |
| Faisal Movers | Business class, air conditioned | Islamabad Faizabad to Sibi | 15h | Rs 4,400 |

Sibi in June is a serious proposition
Sibi records some of the highest temperatures anywhere in the country, and the approach across the Kachhi plain offers no shade at all. From May to August, an air conditioned coach is not a preference, and a daytime arrival is worth avoiding entirely. Every fare in the table is for an air conditioned service; if something cheaper is offered at the stand in summer, there is a reason.

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Sibi
Three named operators on the Quetta corridor, two of them Balochistan companies.
Sania Express
The fare floor and air conditioned, approaching through Jacobabad rather than the Quetta road proper.
From Rs 2,800
Baloch Transport
A Balochistan operator running its own corridor, which shows in where it stops and how well it knows the district.
From Rs 3,000
Super Mekhtar
The Quetta corridor specialist with a luxury seat, which on fifteen hours across the plain is worth the Rs 500 over the floor.
From Rs 3,300
Our verdict
Super Mekhtar at Rs 3,300, and do not economise in summer. Fifteen hours is long, the last stretch is hot, and the luxury seat costs Rs 1,100 less than business class for the same arrival. Between November and March the fare floor is perfectly adequate; between May and August it is not the place to save money.
