AL SHAHBAZ TRAVELS
Where Every Journey Tells a Story
From a single Bedford bus to Pakistan's most trusted transport empire — witness the remarkable 40-year transformation that redefined luxury travel across Punjab. This isn't just about buses; it's about dreams, dedication, and an unwavering promise to excellence.
More Than Just Transportation!
Imagine starting with nothing but calloused hands and an unbreakable dream. Today, Al-Shahbaz Travels isn't just Pakistan's premier luxury bus service — it's a living testament to what faith, hard work, and integrity can achieve. Every day, 5,000+ passengers don't just board our buses; they become part of a legacy built on 40 years of unwavering dedication.
When you travel with us from Sargodha to Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, or Sialkot, you're experiencing more than world-class comfort in our state-of-the-art Yutong fleet. You're riding in vehicles driven by the same values that transformed four Bedford buses into an industry revolution. Our 40+ air-conditioned luxury coaches, professional team, and award-winning service aren't just features — they're promises kept, day after day, journey after journey.
When Dreams Met Determination
Four Bedford buses. One man's vision. Bus #9041 rolled onto the Bhera-Lahore route carrying more than passengers — it carried hope. While others saw just another transport service, we saw the beginning of something extraordinary. Every full seat was validation. Every satisfied passenger, fuel for the journey ahead.
The Eagle Takes Flight
January 1st — a date etched in our history. Al-Shahbaz Travels was officially born. From Sargodha, the City of Eagles, our own eagle spread its wings. Six vehicles, countless dreams, and a rented terminal that couldn't contain our ambitions. This wasn't just business registration; it was the formal beginning of a revolution in Pakistani transport.
The Motorway Miracle
When the motorway opened, we didn't just adapt — we soared. Hino buses joined our fleet. AC comfort became our standard. Sargodha-Rawalpindi route launched. And then there was #2165, a bus we lovingly call "Dadi Amma" (Grandmother) — still standing at our terminal today, a silent guardian of our heritage, reminding us where we came from.
A Promise That Changed Everything
Five buses. Every single year. No excuses. No compromises. While others made plans, we made commitments. Through economic storms and industry challenges, this sacred promise held firm. Old buses retired with honor. New ones arrived with purpose. Year after year, the fleet grew not just in numbers, but in capability and comfort.
Freedom, Finally
Eighteen years of rented terminals. Eighteen years of someone else's rules. No more. Our own terminal rose from the ground — a monument to patience and perseverance. Luxury Daewoo buses rolled in, transforming passenger expectations. This wasn't just infrastructure; it was independence. This was Al-Shahbaz, truly unleashed.
The Legacy Lives On
40+ super-luxury Yutong buses. Five thousand daily passengers. One unbreakable team — the same faces from day one, still here, still dedicated. From Presidential awards to industry accolades, recognition pours in. But our greatest achievement? Every passenger who chooses us, trusts us. That's the real victory. That's the Al-Shahbaz promise, delivered daily.
Why Choose Us
Time is Sacred
Your schedule matters. Your commitments are important. That's why we've maintained a 99% on-time record for decades. When we say 8 AM, we mean 8 AM — not 8:15, not "almost there." Your trust deserves nothing less than precision, every single departure, every single day.
Safety Above Everything
Every driver undergoes rigorous training. Every bus receives meticulous maintenance. GPS tracks every kilometer. Insurance covers every passenger. Why? Because when families board our buses, they're trusting us with what matters most. That responsibility drives every decision we make.
Luxury That Moves
Spacious seats that actually recline. Air conditioning that works perfectly. Smooth rides on well-maintained buses. Entertainment to pass the time. This isn't just transportation — it's your mobile comfort zone, transforming travel time into time well spent.
Industry Recognition
Excellence doesn't go unnoticed. When you consistently deliver on promises for 40 years, recognition follows. But these awards represent something deeper — they're validation of every early morning departure, every satisfied passenger, every mile traveled with care:
-
Presidential Award for Transport Excellence — Recognition from Pakistan's highest office
-
Daewoo Pakistan Best Transport Company — Industry leadership acknowledged
-
Hino Pakistan Best Transport Provider — Operational excellence recognized
-
Chamber of Commerce Business Leadership Award — Commercial integrity honored
-
Master Yutong Leading Transport Award — Innovation and quality celebrated
These aren't just certificates on our wall. They're reminders that doing things right, consistently and with integrity, creates impact that resonates far beyond business. They inspire us to raise the bar even higher.
Our Philosophy
Before the buses, before the terminal, before the awards — there was struggle. Real, raw, character-defining struggle. Our founder's journey from daily wage labor to industry leadership isn't just an inspiring story; it's the foundation of everything we stand for.
This isn't corporate philosophy written by consultants. This is lived experience, hard-won wisdom from someone who carried bricks, drove taxis in Dubai, and never — not once — ran from hard work. The same team from day one still walks through our terminals. That's not coincidence. That's culture. That's the Al-Shahbaz way: succeed together, stay together, grow together.
Every passenger who chooses us inherits this legacy. When you board our buses, you're not just traveling — you're becoming part of a story that proves dedication, integrity, and faith can transform four buses into an institution. Your journey, our promise: excellence, every single time.
— Mr. Muhammad Iqbal, Founder & CEO
