Two Sadiqabad companies, one destination
Waraich Express and Manthar Transport, both headquartered in Sadiqabad, are the direct operators. Waraich publishes departures between morning and night; Manthar’s timings are best confirmed at its old bus stand office.
Via Lahore is the fallback, using any of the four Sadiqabad to Lahore operators and then one of the many Lahore to Sialkot coaches on the M-11 motorway. It costs a little more and adds a change.
