Dubai Bus Route Finder
Dubai RTA Bus Route & Guide
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Dubai bus routes, offline. Search any two stops for direct trips and transfers, with Nol card and fare guides. Free, with an optional one-time ad-free upgrade.
Navigate Dubai's bus network with confidence — and without a connection.
Stop guessing at the bus stop. Whether you commute daily or you're visiting for a week, this app tells you which bus to take, where to change, and how many stops are left. Route and stop data lives inside the app, so journey search works with no internet at all.
PLAN YOUR JOURNEY INSTANTLY
Pick a starting stop and a destination. The app returns direct journeys and journeys that need a transfer, with bus numbers and the full order of stops along the way.
EVERY ROUTE, EVERY STOP
Over 200 routes and 1,300 stops, covering urban lines, express buses and inter-city connections. See the complete stop sequence for any line, or every line that serves a given stop — which is what makes planning a transfer straightforward instead of guesswork. Operating hours, frequency and fare information are included for each route.
MASTER THE NOL CARD
New to the city? Our guides break down Dubai's transit payment system:
• Compare Silver, Gold, Blue and Red Nol cards
• How to top up and check your balance
• How the city's zones affect what you pay
• Daily caps and passes that cost less
FIND STOPS ON THE MAP
See stop locations and your own position on an interactive map, so you know where to stand when you get off. The map is the one feature that needs a connection, since tiles are downloaded as you pan.
GUIDES AND UPDATES
Curated guides and articles on using the network, bundled with the app so they open offline.
WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
• Offline: journey search, routes, stops and guides all work with no connection
• Dark Mode: easier on the eyes for night commutes
• Fast and light: no account, no sign-up, nothing to configure
FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL ONE-TIME UPGRADE
The app is free, with a daily limit on 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 payment — no subscription, no account. Payment is handled by the App Store.
DISCLAIMER
This application is an independent travel guide and is NOT an official application of the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). It is not affiliated with, authorized, maintained, or endorsed by the RTA or any government agency. Route and stop information is compiled from publicly available official sources and bundled with the app; timetables and routes can change, and the app does not show live bus positions or real-time arrivals.

The app interface is in English, with stop names shown in both English and Arabic.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Push notifications are now supported — get alerts about service changes and route updates. You'll be asked for permission after a couple of searches, and you can decline without losing any features.
• Fewer, better-placed ads. In-article ads are now capped instead of appearing before every section, and the ad on app launch no longer interrupts you once the app has opened.
• Updated payment and advertising components to the latest versions for better reliability.
• Improved location handling on the map — the app no longer asks for location permission just because you opened the Map tab.
