📋 What Happened to Route 32?
The 32 was a route of Abu Dhabi’s pre-revamp network. It disappeared when ITC rebuilt the emirate’s bus network in the November 2023 revamp, and it does not appear in ITC’s June 2025 published network list — the current Local Bus Services list runs 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 23, 24, 26, 33 and up, with no route 32. Its last attestations are the old Darbi route index and journey-planner feeds captured before the revamp; no current ITC source lists it.
📖 What This Route Was
Route 32 ran across the Maqta crossing between Marina Mall (on the Corniche / Al Kasir side) and Qaryat Al Beri Souq by the General Civil Aviation Authority — the ‘Marina Mall to Maqta’ service in the old Darbi index, passing the Zayed Sports City side of the island.
🚌 What to Use Instead
- Marina Mall ↔ the city: routes 5, 7, 9 and 11 still link Marina Mall with Al Zahiyah and the city centre.
- The Maqta / Rabdan side: the L43 runs Rabdan (Souq Qaryat Al Beri) ↔ Al Zahiyah Bus Station, and the L42 runs Rabdan ↔ Al Maryah Island — together they cover the corridor the 32 used to serve across the bridge.
- Rabdan ↔ Corniche side: the X5 runs Rabdan Bus Interchange ↔ Corniche Hospital.
For live times and door-to-door routing, use the Darbi app or journey planner — ITC’s official source. The full current network is listed on the Abu Dhabi bus hub.
