Last checked: 22 September 2026

BRTA lists three Sayedabad–Pirojpur routes: Padma Bridge–Gopalganj–Tungipara, 203 km (Tk 721 on a 40-seat bus, Tk 566 on a 51-seat bus); Gopalganj–Bagerhat, 224 km (Tk 794/623); and Barishal–Jhalokathi–Bekutia Bridge, 225 km (Tk 801/628). From Gabtoli by the Paturia ferry it is 284 km and Tk 973/763. On the ticketing platform most trips are Dola Paribahan's, from Gulistan–Sayedabad–Dholaipar through Tungipara and Nazirpur, so the first route's fare is given. For travel on 12 Oct 2026 non-AC seats were Tk 680–750. Welcome Express's Gulistan–Pirojpur coaches were Tk 730 non-AC and Tk 900 AC; Sakura Paribahan's own ticket site also lists Dhaka–Pirojpur. The bus table and fares on the district portal are out of date.

Airlines

Biman Bangladesh Airlines

Biman only, three days a week: in August-October 2026 flights ran on Friday and Sunday mornings (Dhaka 08:30 to Barishal 09:20; return 09:45 to Dhaka 10:30) and Thursday evenings (Dhaka 16:50 to Barishal 17:40; return 18:05 to Dhaka 18:50); the flights of 8 and 9 Oct 2026 are in the schedule too. On some days the time moves by about 20 minutes (on Sunday 4 October it left Dhaka at 08:10). US-Bangla's schedule has no Barishal flights in October-November 2026 and its August 2026 statement does not list Barishal among its domestic destinations; Novoair and Air Astra do not fly here either. Biman's own schedule page could not be opened, so days and times come from two separate flight trackers (Avionio and FlightAware) that agree; days may change with the winter schedule from 25 October, so confirm with Biman before booking.
