GulfCommute Bus & Metro Routes

Which bus do I take? Which Metro line, and where do I change?

GulfCommute answers before you leave the house. Choose where you are and where you are going, and it shows the bus and Metro routes that get you there, with the stops, the changes and the walking in between.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Plan a trip between two bus stops: direct buses first, then trips with up to two changes.
• Mix bus and Metro in one trip in Dubai, Riyadh and Doha. You see the walk between stop and station, where to change and which way the Metro line runs.
• Look up a bus route by its number: every stop in order, operating hours where the operator publishes them, and the other routes you can change to. Doha routes also show fares and how often the bus runs.
• Open a Metro line or station: stations in order, interchanges, hours and, in Dubai, the bus stops close by.
• Find stops and stations near you. Location is optional and only used when you tap "Use my location".
• See stops and lines on a map, grouped so it stays readable.
• Save the routes and stops you use every day, and come back to your last searches. Saving is always free.

SIX CITIES, ONE APP
Kuwait: 56 bus routes
Dubai: 200+ bus routes and the Red and Green Metro lines
Abu Dhabi: 75 bus routes
Sharjah: 11 bus routes
Riyadh: all six Metro lines and 6 bus routes

Coverage differs by city because it depends on what each operator publishes.

BUS AND METRO HOURS
Operating hours, the first and last bus or train, for most bus routes and every Metro line, where the operator publishes them. It is the published timetable for planning, not live departures.

WORKS WITHOUT INTERNET
Routes, stops, hours and trip planning are stored on your phone. They work in a tunnel, on a flight or without roaming data. Maps and article pictures need a connection. When routes change, the app downloads the updates quietly in the background.

ENGLISH AND ARABIC
Full right-to-left Arabic, with Arabic stop names where the operator publishes them.

GUIDES AND NEWS
Short, practical reads for each city: ticket and card basics, airport transport, how to use the Metro, and route changes.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
GulfCommute does not show live bus positions or arrival times, and you cannot buy tickets in it. It shows published routes, stops and hours so you can plan before you go. For live tracking or tickets, use your city's official app.

INDEPENDENT AND SOURCED
GulfCommute is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government body or transport operator, including the RTA, Abu Dhabi Mobility, KPTC, CityBus, Mowasalat, Qatar Rail and the Royal Commission for Riyadh City. Routes come from information the operators publish and can change. Please check important trips with the operator. Each city lists its sources in the app, under "About and sources".

FREE, WITH ADS
GulfCommute is free to use and shows ads. GulfCommute Pro is a one-time purchase that removes all ads and saves article pictures for offline reading.
