# Most Expensive Bus In Pakistan 🇵🇰(LUXURY TRAVEL)

Harry and [Mac](/people/mac.md) leave [Lahore](/places/lahore.md) for
[Islamabad](/places/islamabad.md) on the Q Connect coach, sold to them as the
most luxurious bus in [Pakistan](/countries/pakistan.md), for **$18 and about
four and a half hours**.

It earns the description. Six rows of reclining seats, a fridge, drinks brought
round, a clean toilet, a screen, and **wifi at 6–10 Mbps that Harry points out
is faster than several hotels he has stayed in on this trip**. He works, sleeps
twice by accident, and arrives saying it felt like two hours.

His Lahore summary, delivered in the taxi: good city, great food, great mosques,
and he saw less of it than he wanted because he lost half the week to illness.

## Key moments

- [03:02] The bus: six rows, reclining seats he compares to gaming chairs, a
  stocked fridge, a proper toilet, and a screen.
- [05:03] **$18**, against maybe $5–10 for an ordinary bus, and his verdict that
  the difference is worth paying.
- [06:36] **Wifi at 6–10 Mbps on board**, better than some hotels on this trip.
- [07:07] Onboard food at 600 rupees a dish, Pakistani or Western, priced the
  same as the service stop.
- [08:10] **The service stop is fifteen minutes** — enough to be caught out. He
  nearly misses the bus queuing at KFC and gets back on at a run.
- [08:10] **A tracker in the luggage.** He mentions in passing that he keeps an
  AirTag in his bag so that if it goes, he can follow it.
- [11:48] **560 rupees for a KFC box**, roughly $4–5, and he notes a McDonald's
  earlier in the trip cost him over 1,000 — Western chains are cheaper than at
  home but not uniformly.
- [12:51] **Hotels versus Airbnbs**, and his rule for switching: hotels for the
  laundry, Airbnbs for the space.
- [15:22] A fellow passenger who grew up in Skardu and runs an adventure company
  spends the journey advising them on northern Pakistan, then he and his cousin
  drive them to their Airbnb for nothing.
- [16:22] **Arriving: the air is visibly cleaner** and the smog is gone. The last
  stretch of road turns mountainous.
