Bus Route 7: Al Quoz to Ghubaiba Bus Station

Industrial to Historic Connection Restructured

Route 7 underwent significant restructuring on August 29, 2025, converting from circular service to two-directional routing between Al Quoz Bus Station (the sprawling industrial district anchor) and Ghubaiba Bus Station (historic waterfront terminal). This modification reflects Dubai RTA's evolution toward more direct, predictable routing—passengers now move directly from industrial zones to commercial hubs rather than navigating circular paths requiring extended journeys. The AED 5-8 fare structure maintains affordability while improving efficiency.

Industrial District Accessibility

Al Quoz represents Dubai's industrial backbone—manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics operations employ thousands. Route 7 serves factory workers, logistics employees, and industrial supply-chain professionals commuting from Al Quoz toward downtown commercial services at Ghubaiba. The two-directional restructuring eliminates inefficient circular routing that previously required passengers to traverse extensive supplementary stops. Morning peaks bring industrial workers heading to facilities; evening reverses toward residential neighborhoods. The route validates industrial employment as central to Dubai's functioning—transit infrastructure investment reflecting economic sector importance.

Service Improvements

The August 2025 restructuring provides:

• Direct two-directional routing
• Reduced travel time
• More predictable schedules
• Better connection between industrial and commercial zones
