Fares are indicative published prices and vary with class, season, fuel adjustments and demand. Your live, confirmed fare appears on the seat map before payment.

Quetta is the hub

Kalat has no terminal of its own, so what you are really buying is a Quetta seat plus a shared van fare paid on the spot.

Because vans thin out after midday, an overnight coach that lands in Quetta at breakfast is what makes the whole trip work in one day.
