- Route: Al Quoz Bus Station → MBZ City Bus Station (Abu Dhabi), nonstop.
- Fare: Dh25 per person, one-way. Payment methods include nol cards or cash.

Why This Service Is Useful
The Dh25 Dubai-Abu Dhabi bus service is more than just a new route, it’s aimed at easing traffic congestion, offering affordable inter-emirate travel, and giving commuters in less-served parts of Dubai a direct, non-stop link to Abu Dhabi.
For people living in Al Barsha, Umm Suqeim, Al Quoz, etc., this service saves time and effort by eliminating intermediate stops that older bus routes included.
How It Compares to Existing Routes
There are already intercity bus routes like E100, which run between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but these often make multiple stops. The Dh25 Dubai-Abu Dhabi bus service differs by being non-stop and express.
Also, older routes require multiple connections or longer travel time. This new route streamlines the journey for those who want a direct ride without interrupting stops.
Possible Timings & What Commuters Should Plan
If you’re thinking of using the Dh25 Dubai-Abu Dhabi bus service, here are tips to plan your ride:
- Since departures are every 3 hours, check the RTA or Capital Express official channels in advance.
- Because it’s non-stop, travel time is more consistent — less subject to delays from pickups.
- Bring cash or ensure your nol card is topped up. Payment options are flexible.
- Expect the bus to be fairly popular — earlier slots or non-peak hours might give better seating/space.
Impacts on Traffic, Cost, and Environment
Traffic Reduction: An efficient, affordable public transport option may reduce private car use between the emirates and lower congestion on highways like Sheikh Zayed Road.
Cost-Efficiency for Riders: At Dh25, this route is much cheaper than ride-sharing or private cars over the same distance.
Environmental Benefit: More public transit means fewer emissions per person for the same journey, supporting UAE’s sustainability goals.
