Fares
Sharjah's buses are run by Mowasalat. Fares depend on the route, and a Sayer card costs less than cash. On the airport route 99, for example, a trip costs AED 9 in cash or AED 7 with Sayer (Mowasalat route 99).
| Payment | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Cash | Occasional trips; pay the driver |
| Sayer Blue card | Pay-as-you-go at a lower fare than cash |
| Sayer Grey card | Unlimited monthly travel, reported at AED 225 a month |
See the Sayer card guide.
Buses to Dubai
The RTA buses from Sharjah to Dubai (E303, E306, E307, E308) take a Dubai nol card, not Sayer, and cost up to AED 12. See the Sharjah to Dubai bus guide.
Discounts and free travel
Mowasalat has free or reduced travel for exempt groups such as People of Determination and social assistance beneficiaries. See its exempt categories page.
