Bus
Dubai buses serve the whole city, Metro stations, the airport and other emirates.
How to ride
Tap your Nol card when you board and when you get off. Forgetting to tap out can cost you more.
Metro feeder buses
Many Metro stations have buses to nearby residential areas.
Routes and stops
Plan any trip in the RTA S'hail app or the journey planner on rta.ae — it shows which bus number to take, the stop and live arrival times. Main hubs: Al Ghubaiba, Gold Souq, Union, Al Satwa, Ibn Battuta and Mall of the Emirates.
Airport and intercity buses
Approx. Dubai–Abu Dhabi: E100 from Al Ghubaiba and E101 from Ibn Battuta, about AED 25. Dubai–Sharjah: E-routes from Union and Al Qusais (check the fare in S'hail). Pay with Nol.
