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 The bus table and fares on the district portal are out of date.
