The routes include Route 102 from Rashdiya Bus Station, operating every 60 minutes; Route 103 from Union Bus Station, every 40 minutes; Route 104 from Al Ghubaiba Bus Station, also every 60 minutes; and Route 106 from Mall of the Emirates Bus Station, running every 60 minutes. Each route is serviced by coach buses designed to ensure a comfortable and safe transit experience for visitors and families heading to and from Global Village.
During the previous season (2023–2024), RTA's Global Village bus service saw a significant uptick in ridership, serving 573,759 passengers compared to 448,716 in the 2022–2023 season—a remarkable 22% increase.
In addition to the bus services, RTA has also resumed its popular tourist abra services within Global Village for the new season. Two electric-powered abras will be operational throughout, further enhancing the visitor experience.
