The Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai has announced a brand-new non-stop intercity bus route to the UAE capital.
The new Abu Dhabi bus route will operate daily from Al Quoz Bus Station and travel directly to MBZ City Bus Station, with no stops in between.
Operated in partnership with Capital Express, fares will be priced at just Dhs25 per trip per person, and passengers can pay with contactless cards, nol cards or cash.
The bright green bus will depart every three hours and have a capacity for 50 passengers on every trip.
The new intercity bus provides an extra option from a different area of Dubai for public transport to the capital.
Existing routes start from Al Ghubaiba Bus Station, serving the Bur Dubai area, and Ibn Battuta Bus Station, serving areas such as Jebel Ali, JLT, Dubai Marina and The Palm.
The new route will provide a more convenient form of public transport for those living in areas like Umm Suqeim and Al Barsha to travel to Abu Dhabi.
Buses are the most budget-friendly mode of public transport for travelling between the two cities but in the near future a passenger train will be launched.
In 2026, Etihad Rail is set to finally start its passenger service across the country, with journeys between Dubai and Abu Dhabi set to take under an hour.
