The operator named after the district

Niazi Express takes its name from the Niazi tribe of Mianwali, and the district is at the centre of its 150 plus destination network rather than at the edge. New Khan has run the same belt since 1956. On this corridor you are choosing between two companies that were built around these towns, which is a different proposition from a national brand extending a route.
