📖 About Route 909

The 909 is an Al Ain city local service (Eastern Region) in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, running between Ghireebah Mosque and MarThoma Church.

Al Ain’s 9xx services are the city’s local network, centred on Hili, Al Maqam and Bawadi Mall. It is part of the June 2025 ITC network — the emirate-wide bus network run by Abu Dhabi Mobility (the Integrated Transport Centre). Like most Abu Dhabi suburban and regional services it runs on a frequency basis rather than to a published minute-by-minute timetable.

🌐 Route 909 in the Abu Dhabi network

Route 909 (Ghireebah Mosque to MarThoma Church) belongs to the Al Ain group of Abu Dhabi’s bus network — 135 routes in four groups (31 city, 49 regional, 29 Al Ain, 26 Al Dhafra) run by the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) and documented route by route on this site. The network was comprehensively restructured in November 2023, which is why older directories disagree with these pages: routes were renumbered, merged and re-routed, and the June-2025 ITC route tables behind this site’s coverage are the post-revamp record. The full network story is in the Abu Dhabi buses guide.

💳 Fares & planning the ride

Regional fares run on the Hafilat intercity structure: AED 10 to board, then 10 fils per kilometre; shorter local hops in this group price at the local structure (AED 2 + 5 fils/km, capped at AED 5). Payment is by the Hafilat card — there is no cash fare on Abu Dhabi buses. Planning: the ITC publishes no public timetable PDFs for these routes, so this page is built the honest way — the route, its stops and its service pattern, with live planning done in the official Darbi app. Treat any third-party site printing a minute-by-minute Abu Dhabi timetable with suspicion; the schedule guide explains how frequency-based planning works here.

🧭 Using this route well

Three habits make Abu Dhabi buses work. Card first: there is no cash fare anywhere in the emirate — a Hafilat card with enough balance is the price of boarding, and the Hafilat guide on this site explains the card family and where to get one. Plan in Darbi: the official app carries the live picture the ITC does not publish as timetables; check it before you set out, especially for the regional and Al Dhafra runs where gaps between buses are measured in hours, not minutes. Respect the pattern: city routes are frequent enough to turn up and go, but this network rewards riders who treat the published service pattern on this page as the promise and Darbi as the confirmation — that division is how the system is actually run.
