Dubai to Ajman Bus Timing: E400 & E411 Routes and Fares (2026)

Two RTA routes connect Dubai with Ajman, Al Musallah Bus Station: E400 from Union Bus Station and E411 from Etisalat Bus Station beside e& Metro Station. Both cost AED 15 for the full one-way bus journey in the official planner results checked for 14 October 2026. Your best choice depends on where you start in Dubai and where you want to get off in Ajman—not a fare difference between the two buses.

E400 or E411: which Dubai–Ajman bus should you take?

These journey times describe the selected date and departures, not a guaranteed traffic-free duration. E411’s shorter checked bus leg does not automatically make it the faster door-to-door option if you must first cross Dubai to reach e&. Union can be more convenient when you are already on the Red Line or in central Deira.

First and last buses: E400 and E411

These times come from RTA’s official E400 and E411 timetables, downloaded on 20 October 2026. E400 is the frequent route; E411 runs once an hour. A last bus shown as 00:00 is the midnight departure.

E400: Union Bus Station and Ajman

E411: Etisalat Bus Station and Ajman

Dubai to Ajman bus timings: verified examples

The following are selected direct bus legs from the RTA planner for Wednesday, 14 October 2026. Times are local UAE time in the 24-hour format; they exclude the journey to the bus station.

The E400 departure at 11:43 in this sample is in RTA’s Monday-Wednesday timetable. E411 runs hourly, so its gaps are much longer than E400’s; check the exact departure if you plan to use the e& terminal.

Verified stops towards Ajman

These are the stop sequences in the checked Dubai-to-Ajman trips. Stand numbers and stopping patterns must be checked again for the opposite direction.

The names above reproduce the planner’s stop labels, which can retain older business names. Search the exact stop, not just a similarly named shopping centre. For Safeer Mall or Grand Mart, the checked E400 sequence offers stops that the checked E411 sequence does not. For Rashidiya or LuLu Hypermarket A, compare E411 with any onward travel from E400 before choosing a terminal.

Tickets, nol balance and the real trip cost

Use nol for these RTA buses and tap in and out; onboard cash payment is not accepted. Load enough for the AED 15 intercity trip and any connections. RTA’s general AED 7.50 minimum check-in balance is not the full fare to Ajman. At the checked fare, two full one-way bus journeys total AED 30; this is arithmetic, not a discounted return ticket.

Budget separately for Metro travel and Ajman local transport. The return E411-plus-Metro itinerary to Union, for example, was priced at AED 18 in the checked planner result: AED 15 for E411 and AED 3 for that Metro leg. Do not assume the intercity fare includes every onward ride or that Dubai’s payment rules apply to every Ajman operator.

Checking the next bus and planning the return

1. In the RTA journey planner, select Union Bus Station or Etisalat Bus Station as your origin and “Ajman, Al Musallah Bus Station” as the destination.
2. Set the travel date and time. Open the result and check for E400 or E411; the planner may offer a bus-and-Metro alternative instead of your intended direct service.
3. Reverse the endpoints for the return. For the day’s first or last service, search the relevant early or late period and check the calendar date, rather than copying an outbound time.
4. Confirm the boarding stand and displayed destination at the station. Leave a connection buffer if the return bus must meet the last Metro.

Use the official stop or address search for the final walk. A mall-named bus stop is not a guarantee that it is beside the entrance you need. If boarding assistance is essential, check the specific service and station arrangements with RTA before travelling.
