Sorry. But the info is not correct. I recently took a bus from Dubai to AD and back. Both AD Transport and Dubai's RTA run buses. In Dubai buses can be taken from Al Ghubaiba bus station in Bur Dubai and in AD they can be availed from ... err I don't know the place's name, but I just asked the taxi driver in AD to take me to the Bus Stn for Dubai, which also happens to be next to the main Taxi StandNo trains. There are buses from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, but, amazingly, none from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. You have to get a cab back.
you wouldn't need a schedule. Just turn up at the bus station at any time - okay the buses do not run 24 hr so to that extent you need a scheduleWOW
That's great news. I really do appreciate all the info. I guess I'll need to get a bus schedule when I get there.
what about Sharjah to Dubai and Sharjah to Abu Dhabi???No trains. There are buses from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, but, amazingly, none from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. You have to get a cab back.
Tons of buses between Sharjah and Dubai - but be mindful of the trafficwhat about Sharjah to Dubai and Sharjah to Abu Dhabi???
how much does it cost from Sharjah to Dubai by bus?Tons of buses between Sharjah and Dubai - but be mindful of the traffic
No idea about AD to sharjah
RTA website says 20 AED. I haven't used it ever, but have seen the buses at the stationhow much does it cost from Sharjah to Dubai by bus?
I don't think that a commute between AD and Dubai using public transport is a practical idea. you definitely need your own car for it, else budget about 2.5 hours each way (getting to the bus station, waiting for the bus, traffic jams as the bus station in Dubai is in the busiest part of town etc)Hi guys,
Does anyone use the bus service to commute? We're moving to UAE next month. I'll be working in Dubai, he in Abu Dhabi downtown. We're thinking of living in Dubai - but really looking for info on commuter busses (from AD-side of town), cab hires, car lifts... Any information would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
BTW - have checked all the classifieds - just interested in personal experience
Thanks

yes I work in AD and live in Dubai. not too bad commuting it's about an hour each way....Hi!
Appreciate the advice! Our first thoughts were to rent/buy a car - but just thought that the up/down 5 days a week might be a bit wearing. At least with a driver, could make calls, go online, sleep...
I admit I'm fairly clueless - so all input is gratefully received!
Are you commuting Dubai-Abu Dhabi Vetteguy? If so, how are you finding it??
Am looking for a hire car when I get there, who did you use? A local company or one of the main multi nationals?midoyle
Take Dannysigma's advise from earlier in this thread....Rent a car.....I've been here 2 weeks and have found out it will be much easier and alot less stressful just to rent a car...
Good Luck
I get a good deal with Hertz through my company. Check with your company and see if you can get a business rate.....but they're several companies out there with decent rates just be sure insurance is included....Am looking for a hire car when I get there, who did you use?
