Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is launching a new intercity bus service called Route E308, which will connect Stadium Bus Station in Dubai to Al Jubail Bus Station in Sharjah. This new service will start on May 2, 2025. The fare for a one-way trip will be AED 12.

Adel Shakeri, the Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA's Public Transport Agency, said that this service is part of RTA’s effort to grow the public bus network and make it easier for people to travel. The goal is to connect buses with other types of transport like the metro, tram, and boats, so passengers can easily switch between them. This will help make public transport the first choice for people traveling around the city.
