Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced a new intercity bus service, along with several updated bus routes, which are to be implemented from 2 May.
Starting 2 May, RTA will launch a new intercity bus route, E308, connecting Stadium Bus Station in Dubai with Al Jubail Bus Station in Sharjah. The fare is set at just Dhs 12 for a one-way trip, offering an affordable and reliable new option for many daily travellers between the two emirates. For regular commuters, especially those travelling between Dubai and Sharjah, this new E308 route offers a faster, direct, and budget-friendly option.
Along with this, new broader route adjustments have been announced by RTA, which are designed to align buses more closely with metro stations and key residential and commercial areas, cutting down commute times, reducing congestion and improving comfort.

-
Route 17 will now end at Baniyas Square Metro Station for easier metro access.
