Islamabad to Lahore Route — Stops Along the Way
The Islamabad–Lahore route uses the M-2 Motorway — Pakistan’s smoothest and safest intercity road. Because of the motorway, Faisal Movers makes very few stops on this short route.
| # | Stop / Location | Approx. Time from Islamabad | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Islamabad — Faizabad (Departure) | 0 hours | Starting point |
| 2 | Rawalpindi — Pir Wadhai / Saddar | ~20–30 minutes | Additional passenger pickup |
| 3 | M-2 Motorway Entry (Rawat / Chakri) | ~45 minutes | Motorway begins — fast, smooth road ahead |
| 4 | Bhera / M-2 Rest Area (optional) | ~2 hours | Rest stop on some departures (10–15 min) |
| 5 | Kala Shah Kaku / Lahore Toll Plaza | ~3.5 hours | Motorway exit, entering Lahore |
| 6 | Lahore — Abdullah Terminal (Arrival) | ~4.5 hours | Final destination |
💡 Tip: Once you enter the M-2 Motorway near Rawat, the road is smooth and traffic-free. The journey from Rawat to Lahore Ring Road is usually completed in under 3 hours. The total journey time varies mainly because of traffic inside Islamabad and Rawalpindi before reaching the motorway.
How to Book Ticket
Since buses run almost every hour, walk-in same-day booking is possible on most regular days. However, online booking is always recommended for Business Class, weekends, and holidays.
1. Book Online via Bookkaru (Easiest Method)
- Visit Bookkaru.com or download the Bookkaru app
- Enter Islamabad or Rawalpindi as departure city and Lahore as destination
- Select your travel date and preferred departure time
- Choose Executive or Business Class and pick your exact seat
- Pay via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or credit/debit card
- E-ticket arrives instantly on SMS and email — show QR code at boarding
2. Walk-in at the Terminal
Walk up to the ticket counter at Faizabad, Pir Wadhai, or Saddar Terminal in Rawalpindi, pay in cash or card, and board the next available departure. Since buses leave every 30–60 minutes, you rarely have to wait more than an hour. Walk-in is fine on regular weekdays but advance booking is safer on Fridays, weekends, and public holidays.
3. Call the Helpline
Call 111-22-44-88 (24/7) to book by phone. Have your CNIC number ready — one CNIC is required per ticket.
Travel Tips
Leave Early to Beat Islamabad Traffic
The biggest variable on this route is not the motorway — it is Islamabad and Rawalpindi city traffic before you reach the M-2. Morning rush hour (8:00 AM – 10:00 AM) and evening rush hour (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM) can add 30–45 minutes to your travel time. For time-sensitive trips, take the 5:00 AM or 7:00 AM departure to arrive in Lahore without delay.
Board from Rawalpindi if You Live in Rawalpindi
A common mistake is traveling all the way from Saddar Rawalpindi to Faizabad, Islamabad, to board. You do not need to do this. Pir Wadhai Terminal and Saddar Terminal in Rawalpindi are official boarding points for the Lahore route — same buses, same fares, same comfort. Save time and rickshaw fare by boarding from the nearest terminal.
Business Class is Worth It for Official Trips
If you are traveling to Lahore for an important meeting, government work, or business, the Business Class at PKR 2,600 is worth the extra PKR 620. On-board Wi-Fi means you can reply to emails, review documents, and be productive during the 4.5-hour journey. You arrive fresh and ready — not tired from driving.
Book Business Class 24–48 Hours Ahead
Business Class has only 30 seats per bus. On Fridays, Sundays, government holidays, and long weekends, these seats fill quickly. Book at least one day in advance to secure your preferred seat and departure time. Executive Class is usually available as a walk-in, even on busy days.
Carry Your CNIC at All Times
One CNIC is required per booked ticket for boarding. Always carry your original CNIC. Children need a B-Form. Foreign nationals must carry their passport. Without a valid ID, boarding may be refused regardless of your ticket.
Luggage Allowance
Free luggage allowance is 20 kg in the undercarriage and 5 kg cabin carry-on inside the bus. For day trips to Lahore, a laptop bag or cabin bag is usually all you need. Label your bags clearly before putting them in the undercarriage at the Islamabad terminal.
Best Seat Selection Tips
For the Islamabad–Lahore direction, left-side window seats (A side) give the best views as you travel through the Salt Range and approach Lahore via the motorway. Avoid the last two rows on long buses as these can be slightly bumpier. Book online via Bookkaru to select your exact seat before boarding.
