Last checked: 22 September 2026
Sayedabad to Cumilla (via Daudkandi) is 102 km on BRTA's list; the regulated non-AC fare, tolls included, is Tk 328 on a 40-seat bus and Tk 257 on a 51-seat bus. The operator list comes from a single non-official 2026 source (Asia Line and Asia Aircon between Shasongacha and Sayedabad–Golapbagh, Tisha Plus to Sayedabad); Royal Coach's AC/non-AC split is from a 2022 news report. The same four companies are named in that 2022 report, Asia Line and Tisha are also on the district portal's old (2015) list, and Asia Aircon's own ticket site lists routes from Tongi and Gazipur to Cumilla; no 2026 ticket listing for these Dhaka–Cumilla buses was found. No reliable 2026 source gave current AC fares. Buses that enter the town stop at Shasongacha terminal; Chattogram- or Noakhali-bound coaches do not enter the town and drop at Bishwa Road or the Cantonment on the highway.
