YOUR RED BUS SERVICE … JUST GOT BETTER
From Sunday 3rd November most bus services in Bahrain will be changing. We’ve been listening to passenger comments and are proposing a number of improvements. Some routes will change route, some will change timetable. Some areas will have a new service, and some areas with less passengers will not have a service anymore. Some buses will start earlier in the morning (04:30) and some will run later in the evening (until 23:00).
Please download HERE the informational booklet for more details.
