In the whole territory of the UAE public transportation is well developed only in Dubai. The fare on buses in this Emirate is 1.50 AED. You can buy bus passes at the bus stop from the driver.
All city buses are air-conditioned, so even in the sweltering summer, they are quite cool. Because of the way the bus route is laid out, it can be a long journey. The bus can come to the rescue when you don't have money for a sightseeing tour of the city. It doesn't go from point A to point B, but goes to all the nooks and crannies.
Intercity public transportation is also quite developed in the UAE. It can be used to get to neighboring emirates inexpensively. A fare from Dubai to Abu Dhabi is 20 AED, and to Sharjah is just 5 AED.
If you have chosen to visit Dubai, it is very convenient to move around the city by metro. No less popular here is such a mode of transportation as modern boats and traditional boats. Almost everywhere, special cards are used as a travel document. A red card for 10 trips costs 2 AED. A silver card costs 20 AED. Travel on it is cheaper.
