Sukkur or Rohri, and it matters which
Sukkur and Rohri sit on opposite banks of the Indus and several operators run their terminals on the Rohri side or at the Babarloi bypass rather than in Sukkur city. On a thirteen hour overnight arriving before dawn, that difference is a river crossing at an hour when getting a rickshaw is not straightforward. Confirm which side of the water your ticket lands on.

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Sukkur
Thirteen hours overnight makes this a seat decision, with the set-down point running a close second.
Sania Express
The fare floor here and air conditioned at that price, with the Sindh network that makes it useful if you are continuing past Sukkur.
From Rs 2,500
Kohistan Express
A proper luxury seat for Rs 400 over the floor, which on a thirteen hour overnight is the single best value move available on this route.
From Rs 2,900
Faisal Movers business
The widest seat and the fastest scheduled time, at Rs 1,800 less than Daewoo Luxury for the same road and the same hours.
From Rs 4,400
Daewoo Express
The most predictable timing and the best facilities at both ends, at nearly two and a half times the fare floor. A steep premium on a competitive corridor.
From Rs 6,200
Our verdict
Kohistan Express at Rs 2,900 is the sweet spot, and Faisal Movers business at Rs 4,400 is the upgrade worth making. Daewoo at Rs 6,200 is asking for Karachi money on a route that stops several hours short of it, and on a motorway this competitive there is no reason to pay it unless the terminal itself is the point.
