Buses to Jashore, Benapole and Satkhira via the Padma Bridge and the Madhumati Bridge stop at Narail: Shohagh Paribahan, Hamdan Express, Tungipara Express, SP Golden Line and Hanif, from Sayedabad, Dholaipar, Gulistan, Malibagh and Abdullahpur. About 3.5 hours from Gulistan or Sayedabad; longer from Abdullahpur or Gabtoli. BRTA's chart re-fixed on 22 Sep 2026 (Tk 2.40 per km plus toll) lists Sayedabad–Narail via the Padma Bridge, Bhanga and the Madhumati Bridge (136 km) at Tk 409 in a 51-seat bus and Tk 522 in a 40-seat bus. These are through buses to places beyond Narail, so the fare asked is usually above the chart. Counters were quoting Tk 550–700 non-AC and Tk 950–1,300 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.
