Recently I traveled from Lahore to Sahiwal using the Daewoo bus service. The experience was really good. The bus was neat and clean. Apart from it, the bus reached timely on the destination. It took almost 3 hours to travel from Lahore to Sahiwal. Unfortunately, I was not able to click any pictures of the beautiful, clean, and green city Sahiwal. Here are the random clicks from the Daewoo terminal.
