Dubai: The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the launch of a new intercity bus service, Route E308, connecting Dubai and Sharjah.

Starting May 2, 2025, the new route will operate between Stadium Bus Station in Dubai and Al Jubail Bus Station in Sharjah, with a one-way fare set at Dh12.

Adel Shakeri, Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency, said the RTA is committed to expand the public bus network and enhance integration with other modes of transport such as the Metro, tram, and marine services. “Enhancing intercity connectivity is key to establishing public transport as the preferred choice for mobility across the emirate,” he stated.
