If you need to get from Khanna Pul to Rawat, the simplest answer is one bus: the FR-15 electric feeder. It runs straight from Khanna Pul down the Islamabad Expressway towards Rawat, so there is no need to change buses halfway. The whole trip takes around 30 minutes by road, and it is the same corridor thousands of daily commuters already use.
Your Route: FR-15 from Khanna Pul
Board FR-15 at the Khanna Pul stop, which is also a Blue Line metro station — handy if you are arriving from PIMS or Blue Area. From Khanna Pul the bus heads southeast along the Expressway, passing Fazaia, Gangal and Koral Town, then Gulberg and PWD, before continuing through Soan Gardens and River Gardens towards Kaak Pul, the DHA gates and T-Chowk near Rawat. Buses on this feeder run roughly every 30 minutes according to CDA’s published schedule, so check the departure board at Khanna Pul if you are in a hurry.
The fare is a flat Rs50 per passenger, the standard rate across Islamabad’s electric bus network. You pay through the regular metro e-ticketing setup, and the ride itself is air-conditioned and quiet — a big upgrade over the wagons that used to be the only option on this stretch. Service hours generally run from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily, matching the rest of the electric bus network.
Coming Back: Rawat to Khanna Pul
The return trip works exactly the same way in reverse. Catch FR-15 from the Rawat side and ride it back up the Expressway to Khanna Pul, where you can switch to the Blue Line metro for PIMS, Faizabad and beyond. The return journey also takes around 30 minutes, though evening traffic on the Expressway can stretch it a little. If you are heading further into the city, one change at Khanna Pul connects you to the full metro network.
One honest note for planners: FR-15 is a feeder service, so its timetable can shift slightly with traffic and fleet availability. For a same-day trip, confirm the first and last departures at the Khanna Pul terminal, and keep a ride-hailing app as backup if you are travelling late. For most commuters, though, Khanna Pul to Rawat is now a single, simple, Rs50 bus ride.
