Dubai, Al Ain bus service launched

The first-ever public bus service between Dubai and Al Ain has been launched.

It comes after the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) signed an MoU with the Department of Transport (DoT) in Abu Dhabi.

The service is expected to attract around 250,000 passengers every year.

The E201 will depart every 30 minutes from Al Ghubaiba bus station in Dubai en route to the main bus station in Al Ain.
