QI'm a new student. How do I get to Abu Dhabi University from my residential area?

Route M3 connects MBZ City with the university. If you live in MBZ City or nearby areas, this provides direct access. Journey time varies based on origin but typically 20-40 minutes. Check specific route maps for your residential area. Most universities provide transportation orientation during student onboarding. Hafilat Card fares apply (approximately AED 2-3 per journey).
