Why Sialkot is not much dearer than Gujranwala
Sialkot is only a short spur off the GT Road at Wazirabad, so fares sit just above Gujranwala’s. The extra time comes from Sambrial and the approach into the city rather than from the distance.
Daewoo’s premium is modest here, and its fixed schedule is worth having for the business travellers who make up much of this route’s traffic.
Sialkot Cantt or Sialkot city
Sialkot’s cantonment and its old city are distinct, and the export industry spreads well beyond both.

- The cantonment, Paris Road and the newer commercial areas.
Sialkot city
