F35 Bus Timetable Dubai 2026: Times, Stops, Route & Fare
F35 runs from Mall of the Emirates through Al Barsha and The Greens, calls at Dubai Internet City Metro and returns to Mall of the Emirates. It is a circular neighbourhood feeder. Discovery Gardens is not on this route; use the Red Line toward Discovery Gardens for that destination.
F35 timetable: first and last departures
The table records the departure row for Mall of the Emirates Bus Station in the official RTA F35 timetable downloaded on 13 October 2026. It is a published schedule, not a live arrival prediction. The PDF does not show an effective date; confirm your trip in S’hail before relying on an early or final bus.
| Day | First departure | Last departure |
|---|---|---|
| Monday-Wednesday | 05:10 | 23:46 |
| Thursday | 05:10 | 23:46 |
| Friday | 05:13 | 00:46 next day |
| Saturday | 04:59 | 23:46 |
| Sunday | 08:10 | 23:45 |
Times use the 24-hour clock. A time after midnight belongs to the following calendar day of that service. Read the row for your boarding stop: arrival back at the Metro is not another departure.
The first bus at The Greens is different
Early partial journeys begin at The Greens, Terminus before the first Mall of the Emirates departure: 04:18 Monday-Thursday, 04:15 Friday, 04:13 Saturday and 07:25 Sunday in the reviewed PDF. They continue through Dubai Internet City and back to the mall. These are not departures from Mall of the Emirates.
How often does F35 run?
The intervals change throughout the day. Monday-Wednesday’s mall-origin row begins 05:10, 06:00 and 06:25; Friday begins 05:13, 06:00 and 06:20. Many later trips are closer together, but “every 20-25 minutes” does not describe all services. Use a scheduled departure for an early commute.
Verified F35 stop order
The reviewed PDF contains 28 calls in the complete mall-origin loop. It repeats Mashael Building before Dubai Internet City and several Al Barsha stops on the return; match any direction or stop-ID suffix shown in S’hail.

Choosing the right side of the loop
From Mall of the Emirates, the bus serves the Al Barsha B/D/E area and National School before The Greens. The Greens calls are Al Arta, Al Dhafra, Terminus and Al Sidir. Dubai Internet City Metro comes after those stops; on the return, the route calls at Al Barsha Heights and the Horse Racecourse before Al Barsha again.
| Destination | Planning advice |
|---|---|
| The Greens apartments | Choose the named block stop nearest your building; Terminus is not the closest stop for every address |
| Regent International School | The named school stop is before The Greens on the mall-origin circuit |
| Dubai Internet City Metro | Use the landside stop; compare the Red Line if only travelling between Metro stations |
| Al Barsha National School / Roots Saloon | The names appear twice; confirm the directional stop ID |
Friday’s 05:13 mall-origin trip is scheduled at The Greens, Terminus at 05:35, Dubai Internet City Metro at 05:44 and back at Mall of the Emirates at 06:07. Later circuits take different amounts of time; the timetable and traffic matter more than a single route-wide duration.
F35 fare, nol balance and Metro transfers
RTA charges Dubai bus trips by the zones in the complete journey. The official Silver nol fares are:
| Complete journey | Silver nol fare |
|---|---|
| Within one zone | AED 3 |
| Two adjacent zones | AED 5 |
| More than two zones | AED 7.50 |
These are fare bands, not a flat price for every F35 ride. Tap the same nol card on boarding and leaving. RTA requires at least AED 7.50 balance to check in, even when the eventual deduction is lower. Cash is not accepted on RTA buses.
A Metro-to-bus transfer within 30 minutes of checking out can be combined into one journey, subject to RTA’s transfer rules. The fare depends on all zones travelled; a feeder is not automatically free regardless of the rest of your trip.
Check the next F35 bus and the return journey
- Open S’hail or the RTA Journey Planner and select the actual travel date.
- Choose Mall of the Emirates Bus Station and your specific destination, such as The Greens, Al Arta.
- Select the F35 option and inspect the boarding stop, route direction and departure. A similar name on the other side of the road can serve a different part of the loop.
- Repeat for the return trip. For late travel, check the final Red Line connection separately.
Connections and practical advice
F35 has Red Line connections at Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Internet City. Compare F37 for Sports City, F36 for Arjan and F34 for Production City. Use the specific building or community gate as your destination when comparing routes.
Check the mall’s departure bay, allow time for school traffic and the walk from Dubai Internet City’s landside stop, and request your stop in advance. If you need a wheelchair ramp, signal the driver and check the boarding path as well as the vehicle. For late travel, verify the last Metro connection independently.
