Sadiqabad to Chishtian Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Service Timing
Chishtian grew around the shrine of Baba Tajuddin Chishti, a grandson of Baba Farid of Pakpattan, and today it is also a busy cotton market in Bahawalnagar district. No coach runs straight there from Sadiqabad, so the trip is built around Bahawalpur’s bus stand.
Short answer: Sadiqabad to Chishtian costs about Rs 2,200 and takes five to six hours, changing in Bahawalpur. Leave in the morning, since Faisal Movers’ last Bahawalpur coach leaves in late afternoon.
