F06 Bus Timetable Dubai 2026: Rashidiya Route & Stops

Quick answer: F06 is the RTA neighbourhood loop around Al Rashidiya, starting and ending at Rashidiya Bus Station Parking and connecting with Centrepoint Metro Station. It normally runs from about 5:00 AM until after midnight, starts later on Sunday, and uses nol-card zone fares, usually AED 3 for this local loop.

F06 is a last-mile feeder for Rashidiya’s homes, schools, mosques, clinic and shopping streets. This guide separates the station and parking-stop names, lists the full loop in order and explains the operating-day and Metro-transfer details that are often oversimplified elsewhere.

First and Last Bus

RTA tables distinguish Rashidiya Bus Station Parking, the bus-station call and the return section. A planner may therefore show a slightly earlier or later time depending on which of those points you select. Use the exact stop name for the first or final journey.

How Often Does the F06 Run?

Buses are often 10–20 minutes apart at busy times and can be 20–25 minutes apart later. The published timetable includes irregular gaps, so live departures are more useful than a single claimed frequency.

Live timing: Confirm your exact stop in the official RTA Journey Planner or S’hail app. The live RTA departure and stop display take priority over any fixed timetable online.

F06 Fare and Nol Card Rules

Because F06 is a local loop, a typical Silver nol card fare is AED 3. If it forms part of a timely Metro transfer, RTA calculates the combined trip under its integrated zone rules. Tap correctly on both modes; describing the feeder as automatically free can be misleading when the overall trip crosses zones.

Complete journey	Typical Silver Nol fare
Within one zone	AED 3
Two adjacent zones	AED 5
More than two zones	AED 7.50
Cash at the bus door	Not accepted

Metro and Bus Transfers

Use the same Nol card and make the next boarding within the permitted transfer window, normally 30 minutes. When RTA transfer conditions are met, connected bus and Metro legs are calculated as one integrated journey. The total charge still depends on all zones crossed. See how to check a Nol balance and recharge a Nol card.

How to Use the F06 Bus

1. At Centrepoint Metro, follow signs to Rashidiya Bus Station and verify F06 on the display.
2. Do not confuse the operational parking point with the passenger boarding bay.
3. Tap in on entry and tap out on exit.
4. Follow the loop order because some names repeat on the return section.
5. Check Friday and Sunday times separately.

Connections and Alternatives

Centrepoint is the eastern end of the main Red Line service pattern and the principal connection for F06. Rashidiya Bus Station also serves several routes toward Mirdif, Dubai Festival City, International City and other eastern Dubai districts.

Accessibility and Onboard Facilities

Dubai RTA buses are air-conditioned and generally provide low-floor entry, wheelchair space, priority seating and audio/visual next-stop information. The exact bus assigned can change. Wheelchair users should wait in the marked boarding area and signal the driver if the ramp is needed.

F06 Travel Tips

• Search both “Centrepoint” and “Rashidiya Bus Station” when planning—the Metro and bus systems use different branding.
• Sunday starts later than the rest of the week.
• Late-night times after 12:00 AM belong to the next calendar day.
• For a school or mosque stop, confirm the return-side sequence before boarding.
• Carry enough nol balance; the driver cannot accept cash.

Final Thoughts

F06 is a practical local loop for Rashidiya and a convenient bridge to the Red Line. The most important planning points are the Centrepoint/Rashidiya naming difference, the later Sunday start and the distinction between the bus station and parking stop.
