Karachi coaches pass through too

Many Karachi bound coaches from Rawalpindi also stop at Sukkur. When direct Sukkur seats are sold out, a Karachi service that sells Sukkur tickets can be a useful fallback, sometimes including sleeper berths.

For a dedicated Sukkur trip, the Faisal Movers 2+1 business seat at Rs 6,000 is the most comfortable overnight option, only Rs 400 above Daewoo Luxury.
