Saidpur Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The main bus station is about 1.5km east of the town centre. There are departures every few minutes until around 7pm for Rangpur (Tk 30, one hour) and Dinajpur (Tk 40 to Tk 50, one hour), and slightly less frequently for Thakurgaon (Tk 50, 1½ hours). If you’re headed south for Jaipurhat (near the Paharpur ruins) you may have to wait so long for a direct bus that you’re better off taking a series of buses.

There are chair-coach offices for Dhaka (Tk 200 to Tk 350) in the centre of town along Station Rd. Most coaches leave Saidpur after dark.
