Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) provides a convenient "Bus on Demand" service, a ride-pooling solution that bridges the gap between traditional buses and taxis. Operating in over a dozen key residential and business areas including Al Barsha, Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Dubai Silicon Oasis, the service is ideal for short-distance travel where a fixed bus route may not be available. Passengers can book a shared ride easily through a dedicated mobile app.
The service runs from 5:00 am to midnight from Monday to Thursday and Saturday, with extended hours until 1:00 am on Friday and a slightly later start at 8:00 am on Sunday. The fare structure is designed to be affordable, with a standard trip within a zone costing 5 dirhams. For inter-zone travel, the standard fare is 7 dirhams, though several popular inter-zone routes, such as Al Barsha to Barsha Heights, currently have a promotional fare of just 5 dirhams.
This innovative service offers a highly efficient and cost-effective way for commuters to travel. By using the app to book a ride, passengers can enjoy the convenience of a direct service without the high cost of a taxi, making it a smart choice for daily travel within their local area or between connected districts.
