Abu Dhabi Mobility has introduced two bus routes designed to bridge the gap between the capital’s Etihad Rail station and its wider public transport network.

The MR1 and MR2 lines both depart from Mohamed Bin Zayed City Rail Station, which serves as Abu Dhabi’s passenger hub on the Etihad Rail network. MR1 runs to the Main Bus Station, stopping at Al Jazeera Club, Al Mushrif Mall and the Al Rawdah interchange along the way. MR2 follows a separate corridor through the Al Rawdah interchange and Mazyad Bus Interchange before terminating at Al Zahiyah Bus Station, near ADCB headquarters and Hazza’a Mosque. Both lines operate in each direction.

“We have launched MR1 and MR2 lines to connect Mohammed bin Zayed City Train Station to the Main and Al Zahya Bus Stations, both ways,” Abu Dhabi Mobility said in a post on X. “We wish you a smooth and comfortable journey.”

Schedules for both routes are available through the Darb app and on the authority’s website.

The additions come as Etihad Rail’s passenger services run between Abu Dhabi and other emirates, with the Mohamed Bin Zayed City station acting as the capital’s primary rail access point. The new bus connections are intended to help passengers complete journeys into the city centre without relying on private transport.
