F37 Bus Timetable Dubai 2026: MOE–Sports City Route
F37 is RTA’s feeder linking Mall of the Emirates with Dubai Sports City. It is a useful option for addresses around Motor City and Sports City that require a bus after the Red Line. Plan the exact building or venue entrance so that a district-wide route search does not leave you with a long walk.
F37 route and main interchange
Both RTA’s route list and its Mall of the Emirates station map identify F37 for Sports City. The mall station is the Red Line connection. Use the current departure screen to find its bay; the published station map is an orientation aid rather than a live allocation.
| Destination to search | Detail that matters |
|---|---|
| Motor City, Uptown Apartments / Spinneys | Select your building or shopping entrance and inspect the current F37 stop |
| Dubai Autodrome | Different event entrances can require different walks; check the organiser’s gate information |
| Sports City, ICC or stadium area | Distinguish ICC office, headquarters and stadium destinations |
| Arena Tower / Royal Residence / Shami Tower | Tower names are better planner inputs than only ‘Sports City’ |
| Mall of the Emirates return | Confirm the stop direction and final Red Line connection |
Outbound and return-side stops can share a landmark name. Inspect the selected journey’s stop ID and the bus destination display rather than assuming that the stop across the road always has the fastest route back.

F37 timetable and first/last bus
The first table gives departures from Mall of the Emirates Bus Station, the Metro connection. The second gives the loop’s start in Sports City. Both come from RTA’s official F37 timetable, downloaded on 20 October 2026, and are scheduled times, not live arrivals.

- Choose the date and Mall of the Emirates Bus Station in S’hail or the RTA planner.
- Enter the specific Motor City or Sports City address and select the F37 journey.
- Read its boarding bay, departure and arrival estimate, then check the return direction separately.
For a printable table, enter F37 in the RTA homepage’s “Download Timetables” tool. Use the correct day and boarding row; a school, residential or Sports City-origin trip may differ from a Mall of the Emirates departure. Special-event and holiday schedules can override normal service.
Autodrome and Sports City event trips
Allow time for the bus queue, local road traffic and the walk to the venue. A timetable arrival at a roadside stop is not arrival at a stadium seat or Autodrome entrance. For an evening event, check the final return before buying transport-dependent plans; a later Metro opening does not guarantee a feeder departure at the same time.
If your Sports City address is closer to another corridor, compare F34 from Dubai Internet City or F38 from Jumeirah Golf Estates in the planner. For Arjan, compare F36. The choice depends on the full rail-and-bus trip and the final walk.
F37 fare and Metro transfer rules
F37 uses Dubai’s zone-based nol system. RTA’s Silver card fare bands are AED 3 within one zone, AED 5 across two adjacent zones and AED 7.50 across more than two zones. The deduction depends on your complete trip, so these are not three alternative flat prices for this route.
| Before boarding | What to do |
|---|---|
| Card balance | Keep at least AED 7.50 available to check in, as required by RTA |
| Validation | Tap the same nol card on boarding and leaving |
| Metro connection | Transfer within 30 minutes; eligible connected legs are priced as one journey |
| Cash | Not accepted on RTA buses |
An included Metro transfer still depends on the combined journey’s zones and transfer conditions. Check the balance before leaving home with our nol balance guide.
Passenger facilities and travel time
RTA buses provide air conditioning and priority seating. Vehicle equipment and the street path vary, so check boarding assistance if you need a ramp or wheelchair space. Save the destination stop before travelling and request it early.
Use the arrival estimate for the actual trip rather than a universal 70-90-minute loop. If travelling only to Motor City, a full Sports City circuit is not the relevant duration. Add a connection buffer for peak traffic.
