A short route with an early last coach
Bahawalpur is close enough that most people travel in the morning and return the same day or the next. The catch is that the Faisal Movers schedule ends in late afternoon, so a missed last coach means a wagon or a night in Bahawalpur.
Daewoo includes Bahawalpur on its Sadiqabad network and arrives at its terminal opposite Sadiq Public School, which is handy for the university and Model Town side of the city.
