Dubai is a bustling metropolis where its public transportation system is constantly expanding to meet the needs of its growing population.

Dubai buses are reliable, becoming a popular choice for locals and tourists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping track of bus timings can be challenging, especially if you are not familiar with the routes. Thankfully, the Dubai RTA has made it easy to get bus timings via SMS. Let\u2019s find out ways to get Dubai bus timings via SMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RTA offers a smooth public transport network in Dubai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has launched an SMS service called Wojhati that provides real-time information on bus arrival timings. Commuters can use this service to get information on public Dubai buses<\/a> by sending an SMS containing the bus stop ID. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the bus timetables are displayed at the stops, the Wojhati service allows commuters to check the schedule of upcoming buses while on their way to the station, even without internet access. The service complements the RTA’s S’hail app, which provides updated transport schedules for public transport users. Moreover, RTA has also launched Bus on Demand App in Dubai<\/a> to make transportation smooth in most of the busy areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RTA in Dubai has recently introduced a new Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) system, which includes an SMS information service. The service improves the waiting experience for public transport users. The SMS service provides commuters with accurate and convenient information about bus routes and Metro timings. This service is part of the RTA’s efforts to make public transport in Dubai more convenient for commuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a new commuter and travelling for the first time make sure you know Dubai bus fines<\/a> to avoid any violations during the journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Make a Note of Bus Stop IDs for Frequent Bus Stops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first step to get Dubai bus time via SMS is to find the bus stop number. Each bus stop in Dubai has a unique identification number, which is displayed on a signboard at the stop. You can also find the bus stop number on the RTA Dubai<\/a> website or through the RTA Dubai app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use the bus regularly from a stop near your home or workplace, note the stop IDs. The bus stop ID can be found on the signboard next to the bus stop. If you use the Metro and a feeder bus, you can find the bus stop ID under the “Legend<\/strong>” section on the Metro station’s information board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Create a New Message <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you have the bus stop number, open the messaging app on your mobile phone and create a new message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Enter the SMS Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to inquire about the schedule of a particular bus route, you should type the letter “D”<\/strong> followed by a space<\/strong> and the relevant bus ID<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Send the Message<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
