Daewoo Express Gold Class: A Smooth Ride from Islamabad to Lahore

Gold Class Of Daewoo Express

Taking the bus in Pakistan has come a long way over the years — and for the best. One of the companies that have led the charge is Daewoo Express. They’re famous for their professionalism and smooth rides, and Daewoo has been a traveler’s favorite for a long time. But what if you take it up a notch with their Gold Class service?

So we took a ride from Islamabad to Lahore and documented the entire experience. From the price of tickets to the comfort of seats, here’s the lowdown on everything you need to know before booking your next Gold Class trip.

Ticket Fare – Is It Worth It?

The Islamabad to Lahore ticket in Daewoo’s Gold Class is approximately Rs. 2,300. Although this may be slightly more than other services, it takes into consideration the additional comfort and amenities included in the ride.

Before Departure – Smooth Start

One of the first things that strike you is how clean and organized the Islamabad terminal is. Check-in is quick and effortless, and attendants are respectful and well-behaved. You will never have to dread confusion or crowds — everything is professional and businesslike.

Inside the Gold Class Bus – First Impressions

As the bus pulls up, its sleek appearance is impressive. Inside, the bus is clean and comfortable in its design. The reclining leather seats are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of legroom and personal space — something that’s lacking in standard coaches.

There’s a USB charging port near every seat, and you’ll also find a tray table and bottle holder for convenience. Whether you’re working on the go or just want to relax, the setting is ideal.

Onboard Services – Small Touches That Matter

Soon after leaving, travelers are given a snack pack containing water, juice, biscuits, and a little cake or pastry. It’s not a meal, but it’s a lovely gesture that makes the trip a bit more nurtured.

There is a trained hostess on board to help passengers and answer questions — adding a touch of professionalism that you won’t often find with other bus companies.

Connectivity & Entertainment – Still Room for Improvement

Now, let us discuss the Wi-Fi and entertainment system.

Although the bus is Wi-Fi-enabled, there is no guarantee of its signal strength, which will depend upon your position during the journey. It is good in urban areas, but do not count on it much in rural pockets.

As for entertainment, there’s no personal screen at each seat. A single shared screen at the front of the bus plays a family movie or TV show. If you’re someone who prefers to watch your own content, make sure to bring your own device and download your shows in advance

Cleanliness & Hygiene – Top Notch

One of the plus points of Daewoo Gold Class is that it is clean. From the floor to the seats and even to the curtains — all is taken good care of. The washroom onboard is functional and hygienic, which is a big bonus on long journeys.

Timing & Punctuality – Right on Schedule

Our trip began on time and arrived on time — a mention-worthy feat in Pakistan’s public transport scene. The journey was smooth, with a single planned stop at a clean resting area. The driver kept a constant speed, and no unnecessary speeding and abrupt braking took place.

Arrival at Lahore – Refreshed and Relaxed

Upon reaching Lahore Daewoo Terminal, you actually feel the difference that a hassle-free trip makes. Instead of reaching drained and irritable, you disembark from the bus fresh and ready for what comes next — whether it is work, a family reunion, or a holiday.
