Faisal Movers Sleeper Bus 2026: Ticket Price, Routes, Timings and Booking

Everything you need before you book a Faisal Movers sleeper berth: the latest sleeper bus ticket price for every route, departure times, what the berths look like inside, which berth to pick, and how to book online or through the helpline.

What is the Faisal Movers sleeper bus?

The Faisal Movers sleeper bus is an air-conditioned overnight coach that has flat beds, called berths, instead of seats. It runs on Pakistan's longest road routes, mainly Lahore to Karachi, Karachi to Lahore and Karachi to Rawalpindi/Islamabad, where a normal seat means sitting upright for 15 hours or more.

Each berth comes with a mattress, a pillow and a privacy curtain, so you can lie down properly, sleep through the night and arrive in the morning without the stiff back and swollen feet that come with a long seated journey. For many passengers, the extra fare over Business Class is worth it simply because they can go straight to work or a family event after arriving.

Faisal Movers is one of the biggest intercity bus operators in Pakistan, and the AC sleeper bus is its top-tier product. Because there are only a limited number of berths on each coach and only a few sleeper departures a day, these tickets sell out faster than any other class, especially on Thursday and Friday nights and before Eid.

Inside the Faisal Movers sleeper bus: berth layout explained

The sleeper coach uses a 2+1 layout. On one side of the aisle there is a column of double berths, which suit couples, a parent with a child or two friends. On the other side there is a column of single berths for solo travellers. Each column has two levels: lower berths close to the floor and upper berths above them, reached with a small step or ladder.

Faisal Movers sleeper bus ticket price 2026

The Faisal Movers sleeper bus fare depends on the route and where you get off. Below are the latest published sleeper fares we could find for each route. Faisal Movers changes fares with diesel prices and holiday demand, so treat these numbers as a planning guide and confirm the final fare when you book.

Karachi to LahoreRs 9,300 to 9,500Around 10:00 PM15 to 17 hrs

Lahore to Rahim Yar Khan / SadiqabadFrom Rs 3,700Around 10:00 PM8 to 9 hrs
Sadiqabad to KarachiFrom Rs 4,000Around 10:00 PM8 to 10 hrs

Why are Hyderabad and Sukkur almost the same price as Karachi? Sleeper berths are sold mainly for the full journey, so drop-off points on the way are usually charged close to the end-to-end fare. If you are only going part of the way, a Business Class seat is often the cheaper choice.

Faisal Movers sleeper bus routes

Sleeper coaches only run on long overnight corridors where lying flat makes a real difference. These are the main routes and what to expect on each.

Faisal Movers Lahore to Karachi sleeper

The Faisal Movers Lahore to Karachi sleeper is the most popular sleeper service in the network. The coach usually leaves Lahore at around 10:00 PM from the Abdullah Terminal on Band Road and reaches Karachi the next afternoon. The current Lahore to Karachi sleeper fare is around Rs 9,300 to 9,500, compared with about Rs 6,690 for an Executive or Business seat on the same route. Here is the typical route with its main stops:

  1. Lahore, Abdullah TerminalBoarding from about 9:30 PM, departure around 10:00 PM
  2. Motorway service area near IqbalabadMeal and washroom break of roughly 15 to 20 minutes

For all other classes and departure times on this route, read our Faisal Movers Lahore to Karachi guide.

Faisal Movers sleeper bus Karachi to Lahore ticket price and timing

The return journey runs on the same pattern. The Faisal Movers sleeper to Lahore from Karachi generally departs around 10:00 PM and reaches Lahore the following afternoon. The Faisal Movers sleeper bus Karachi to Lahore ticket price is the same as the outbound fare, around Rs 9,300 to 9,500. In Karachi, most Faisal Movers long-route coaches use the Sohrab Goth bus terminal area, but confirm the exact boarding point on your ticket, because it can change.

Faisal Movers sleeper bus Karachi to Islamabad

The Faisal Movers sleeper bus Karachi to Islamabad ticket price is the highest in the sleeper network, at roughly Rs 9,500 to 12,000, because this is the longest route, at about 1,350 km. The journey takes around 17 to 19 hours, so a berth makes a much bigger difference here than on any shorter trip. The coach serves the Rawalpindi and Islamabad terminals, so check which one is printed on your ticket. Our Islamabad to Karachi guide covers the seated classes on this route too.

Sadiqabad and Rahim Yar Khan to Karachi

Faisal Movers has also run sleeper coaches between Sadiqabad and Karachi, passing through Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, Moro and Hyderabad. This shorter overnight service starts from around Rs 4,000 and suits people from South Punjab who travel to Karachi for work. See the Rahim Yar Khan terminal page for counter details.

Sleeper vs Business vs Executive: which class is worth it?

On the Lahore and Karachi route you can choose between three main classes. Here is how they compare in practice.

Departures per dayFewSeveralMany

In short, the sleeper costs roughly Rs 2,600 to 2,800 more than a seat on the same route. If you are travelling overnight and need to be fresh on arrival, that difference buys a full night of sleep. If you travel by day, or you are only going as far as Multan, Bahawalpur or Sukkur, Business Class gives you most of the comfort for less money.

Which sleeper berth should you choose?

When you book a Faisal Movers sleeper bus ticket, the berth you choose matters almost as much as the class. These are the trade-offs passengers most often mention.

Lower or upper berth

Lower berths are easier to climb in and out of at rest stops, which makes them the better choice for elderly passengers, anyone with knee or back problems and mothers travelling with small children. Upper berths are further from aisle traffic and feel more private, but you notice the sway of the bus more and you need to use the step every time you get down.

Single or double berth

Single berths are the obvious choice for solo travellers, and women travelling alone usually prefer them so they are not paired with a stranger. Double berths work well for a couple, a parent and child, or two friends. When booking by phone, say clearly whether you want a single or a double berth, because the counter will not always ask.

Berths over the rear axle tend to feel bumpier. If you are a light sleeper, ask for a berth in the middle of the coach, and keep away from the front if the door and the driver's cabin light bother you.

Faisal Movers sleeper bus booking: how to book online

There are four ways to do Faisal Movers online booking for a sleeper berth. Because sleeper berths are limited, booking at least three to five days ahead is the safest plan, and a week or more before Eid and long weekends.

  1. Official website or appGo to faisalmovers.com, choose your cities and date, then select the sleeper class if it is offered on that departure. Pick your berth and pay online.
  2. Bookkaru and other booking appsBookkaru is Faisal Movers' main online booking partner, and apps like Bookme and Sastaticket also list the service on many routes. You can pay with a debit or credit card, JazzCash or Easypaisa.
  3. Call the helplineDial 042-111-22-44-88 or 0311-1224488 to check berth availability, reserve, and ask where to collect your ticket.
  4. Terminal counterVisit any Faisal Movers counter with your CNIC and buy the ticket in cash. This works well if you are close to the terminal, but sleeper berths on weekend nights are often gone by the time you arrive.

Once you have paid, keep the SMS or e-ticket and take a screenshot, in case mobile data is weak at the terminal. Our booking guide explains each method in more detail.

Tips for a comfortable night on the sleeper bus

A 16-hour overnight trip goes much better with a little preparation. These are the things experienced sleeper passengers pack and do.

  • Carry your original CNIC, or B-Form for children, in your pocket rather than in your luggage.
  • Reach the terminal 30 to 45 minutes early to collect your boarding card and tag your bags.
  • Keep a small bag at your berth with a shawl, phone charger, power bank, water and medicines.
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothes and easy slip-on shoes for the rest stops.
  • Bring an eye mask and earplugs if you are a light sleeper; cabin lights come on at every stop.
  • Eat a light dinner at the meal stop. A heavy meal on a moving bus can make sleep harder.
  • Keep valuables inside the berth with you, not in the overhead space near the aisle.
  • Save the helpline number before you leave, in case the bus is delayed and someone is waiting to pick you up.
