Magura is on the way to Jhenaidah, Chuadanga, Jashore and Satkhira, so many buses stop here: Royal Express, Purbasha, JR and Hanif from Gabtoli and Kallyanpur (ferry or Padma Bridge), Golden Line from Gulistan and Sayedabad and Shohagh Paribahan from Malibagh and Sayedabad (Padma Bridge). BRTA's chart re-fixed on 22 Sep 2026 (Tk 2.40 per km plus toll) lists Gabtoli–Magura via the Paturia ferry and Faridpur (155 km) at Tk 445 in a 51-seat bus and Tk 568 in a 40-seat bus. Buses that use the Padma Bridge are not listed separately. Counters were quoting Tk 630–750 non-AC and Tk 800–1,500 AC for travel on 12 Oct 2026 (seen 8 Oct 2026 on Shohoz and bdtickets).

Note: On 3 Oct 2026 the DMP commissioner said the Gulistan and Fulbaria bus terminals would be moved to Chunkutia, Keraniganj within three months, with all buses for 19 southern districts planned to move there. Check the boarding point with the operator before you travel.
