Commuting Dubai is relatively easy given its integrated means of transportation. The city boasts a metro system, a tram system, a bus system, among others. The aforementioned means are used interchangeably in your getting around Dubai without extra charge, when done right. The process is called “transferring” and gives you limited times to transfer between means of transport.

Dubai Bus Transportation Service

Dubai’s bus transportation service covers and serves well over 85% of the urban area of the Emirate of Dubai. This service is provided by The Public Transport Agency, according to Roads & Transport Authority (RTA).

They boast a huge fleet of buses — about 1,518 — including the Double-decker, Standard buses, Articulated buses, and Metro links. All buses are air-conditioned, have provisions for people with disabilities such as space for wheelchairs and contrasting tactile guidance path for the visually impaired; multiple screens hosting bus stops information and general notifications, dedicated section for women, children and families, and audible beeps with corresponding flashing light signals when doors open and close.

The buses run on about 158 routes, including Express bus routes (10 lines), feeder bus routes (50 lines), a night bus route (1 line), Intercity bus routes (17 lines), local bus routes (62 lines), CBD bus routes (13 lines) and seasonal bus routes (5 lines).

The intercity routes lead to other emirates. The seasonal bus routes connect other destinations to Global Village and Miracle Garden. The feeder bus routes connect different metro stations to other locations. For the Dubai Mall, look under ‘feeder’ and ‘local bus routes’ on the tables. And for Mall of The Emirates Metro Stations, look under ‘feeder’, ‘local’ and ‘seasonal bus routes’ on the tables below.
