Abu Dhabi Bus Routes

Your complete guide to Abu Dhabi's bus network — and it works offline.

Whether you're a tourist finding your way to the sights, a new resident learning the city, or a daily commuter, this app tells you which bus to take, from which stop, and where to get off. Route and stop data is stored inside the app, so searching for a journey needs no internet connection at all.

Are you a tourist?
Reach Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Yas Island and Saadiyat Island without guessing which line goes where. Because journey search works offline, you can plan on the move without data roaming.

Are you a new resident?
Get to know the network quickly. Find the bus to work, to the mall, or to the ferry, and read our guides on the Hafilat card and how fares work.

Are you a daily commuter?
Look up your route in seconds, check the full stop sequence, and work out your transfers before you leave the house.

WHAT'S INSIDE

1. Offline journey search
Pick your starting stop and your destination. The app shows direct journeys and journeys that need a transfer, with bus numbers and the order of stops along the way. No connection required.

2. Every route, every stop
See the complete stop sequence for any bus line, or every line that serves a given stop. This is what makes planning a transfer straightforward instead of guesswork.

3. Interactive stop map
See stop locations and your own position on the map. The map is the one feature that needs an internet connection, since map tiles are downloaded as you pan.

4. Fast, forgiving search
Type part of a stop name or a route number and the app fills in the rest. It copes with small spelling mistakes, and stop names are shown in both English and Arabic.

5. Guides and travel tips
Practical reading on the Hafilat card, the fare structure, and getting around the network with less friction.

FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL ONE-TIME UPGRADE

The app is free to use, with a daily limit on the number of journey searches. You can earn extra searches for the day by watching a short video ad. Premium removes the daily limit and all advertising for a single one-time payment — no subscription, and no account to create. Payment is handled by the App Store.
