Most buses now leave Sayedabad/Gulistan and run via the Padma Bridge and Bhanga (103 km on the BRTA list; Tk 317 on a 51-seat bus, Tk 404 on a 40-seat bus). The older Gabtoli route via the Paturia ferry is Tk 332/424 (109 km) and much slower: Comfort Line's Gabtoli buses are scheduled about 6 hours to Faridpur on Shohoz. BRTC's route list gives 2 to 3 hours Gulistan to Faridpur by the bridge. No AC fare could be confirmed for 2026: the AC fares on BRTC's own page (Tk 302-357) are at an older per-km rate, and Golden Line AC Tk 450 on faridpurcity.com is undated.
