🚌 Abu Dhabi Bus Route X70 — Abu Dhabi Bus Station ↔ Mirfa Bus Station
🚌 Route X70: Abu Dhabi Bus Station ↔ Mirfa Bus Station | 🏢 Capital Express | 💳 Hafilat Card | 📍 Regional Express (Intercity)
The X70 is the long-distance coach linking Abu Dhabi with Mirfa (Al Marfa) on the Al Dhafra coast, run by Capital Express for ITC (Abu Dhabi Mobility). This page gives the published termini and main points, the official intercity fare, how the service pattern works, and the questions riders ask most — without invented timetables or stop lists.
One route, two codes: this Abu Dhabi ↔ Mirfa service is also branded CX70 by Capital Express in the operator’s own timetable (Abu Dhabi – MBZ City – Tarif – Marfa), and timetable directories list the corridor under both X70 and CX70. They are the same coach service — BusUpdate keeps one canonical page for the corridor, here. Note the corridor does not appear in ITC’s June 2025 X-code express list (X60, X86, X88, X90); it is attested by the operator’s current timetable and by timetable directories under both codes.

📖 About Route X70
The X70 / CX70 is Abu Dhabi’s western coastal coach: from Abu Dhabi Bus Station it runs via MBZ City and Tarif to Mirfa Bus Station — a road journey of roughly 150 km along the E11 corridor, which directories describe as taking around three hours. It is the public-transport link between the capital and the Mirfa / Al Dhafra coast for residents, workers and beach visitors.
At Tarif the corridor connects with Al Dhafra local services (for Madinat Zayed and the Liwa side); at Mirfa, local buses serve the town and its souq. For the parallel express to Al Dhannah, see the X88 page.
🎟️ Fares & Payment
AED 10 plus 10 fils per kilometre — the official ITC intercity fare, paid with a Hafilat card (tap on and tap off). Long-distance Capital Express coaches use the same formula, so the exact fare depends on how far you ride.
⏰ Service Pattern
Frequency: intercity coaches run a sparse fixed departure pattern rather than a turn-up-and-go frequency; check Darbi or the Capital Express listings for the day’s departures before travelling.
