Six operators, one motorway

Every coach on this route uses the same roads, so the price gap is about seat and service rather than speed. The home grown companies are the cheapest: Manthar Transport, running from Sadiqabad since 1984, lists about Rs 2,200, and Royal Movers and Waraich Express, both linked to the Sadiqabad Transport Company, also undercut the national operators by several hundred rupees. Baba Pehlwan sells its coach as non-stop, which appeals to passengers who dislike the pick ups near Rahim Yar Khan.

Daewoo’s Gold Class at Rs 4,170 and Royal Movers’ sleeper at Rs 4,900 are close in price. The sleeper wins on a night departure because you lie flat; Gold Class wins on a day trip, when a wide 2+1 seat is all you need.
