📖 About Route 308

The 308 is one of SRTA’s own Sharjah–Dubai coach services in the Emirate of Sharjah, running between Rolla Terminal and Jebel Ali / Ibn Battuta Bus Station, Dubai via Al Quoz Industrial Area.

⚠ NUMBER COLLISION: SRTA 308 (Rolla → Jebel Ali) is NOT RTA E308 (Stadium Metro Station → Al Jubail), which is a Dubai RTA bus with its own BusUpdate page (linked below). Same digits, different operator, different terminals, different fare card. Check the bus’s operator branding before you board.

🎟️ Fares & Payment

The 308 is listed among the routes reduced in SRTA’s May 2023 fare matrix (Khaleej Times); SRTA’s Rolla–Dubai corridors were cut to about AED 17. Pay cash or Sayer — Dubai’s Nol card is not accepted on SRTA’s own Dubai coaches.

Pay at the Al Jubail ticket counters or as directed at the terminal; SRTA intercity coaches take cash and Sayer (Dubai’s Nol card is for RTA services, not SRTA’s). Intercity fares were cut across the network in SRTA’s May 2023 reduction — directories printed before then quote higher prices.

⏰ Service Pattern

Frequency: SRTA publishes no open timetable for the 308; coaches run through the day from Rolla, crossing Dubai via Al Quoz to the Jebel Ali / Ibn Battuta end of the Red Line. Check the terminal board or the RTA Sharjah app before travelling. Sharjah has no public GTFS feed; Google Maps carries SRTA routes for journey planning.

🔀 The Other Sharjah–Dubai System: RTA from Al Jubail

Sharjah has two parallel bus systems to Dubai. This page is SRTA’s own coach from Rolla (cash/Sayer). Dubai’s RTA runs its own E-routes from Al Jubail on the Nol card — if those suit you better, they are covered here:

Dubai RTA E303 — Al Jubail ↔ Union Bus Station, Dubai (RTA-operated, Nol card — covered on BusUpdate’s Dubai pages)
Dubai RTA E306 — Al Jubail ↔ Al Ghubaiba, Dubai (RTA-operated, Nol card — covered on BusUpdate’s Dubai pages)
Dubai RTA E307 — Al Jubail ↔ Deira City Centre, Dubai (RTA-operated, Nol card — covered on BusUpdate’s Dubai pages)
Dubai RTA E307A — Al Jubail ↔ Abu Hail, Dubai (RTA-operated, Nol card — covered on BusUpdate’s Dubai pages)
Dubai RTA E308 — Al Jubail ↔ Stadium Metro Station, Dubai (RTA-operated, Nol card — covered on BusUpdate’s Dubai pages)
Dubai RTA E315 — Muwaileh ↔ Etisalat Metro Station, Dubai (RTA-operated, Nol card — covered on BusUpdate’s Dubai pages)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the fare on the 308?
The 308 is listed among the routes reduced in SRTA’s May 2023 fare matrix (Khaleej Times); SRTA’s Rolla–Dubai corridors were cut to about AED 17. Pay cash or Sayer — Dubai’s Nol card is not accepted on SRTA’s own Dubai coaches.

Where does the 308 start and finish?
It runs between Rolla Terminal and Jebel Ali / Ibn Battuta Bus Station, Dubai, via Al Quoz Industrial Area.

Does the 308 run to a fixed timetable?
Sharjah buses run on published headway patterns (every so many minutes by time of day) rather than per-stop timetables. The pattern for this service is in the Service Pattern section above; for the next bus today, use the RTA Sharjah app or the Rihlati planner, or text your stop number to 2272.

Is SRTA 308 the same as RTA E308?
No. SRTA 308 runs Rolla → Jebel Ali / Ibn Battuta and takes cash/Sayer. RTA E308 runs Stadium Metro Station → Al Jubail and takes Dubai’s Nol card. Same digits, different bus — check the operator name on the front of the bus.

🌐 Route 308 in the Sharjah network

Route 308 (Rolla Terminal to Jebel Ali / Ibn Battuta Bus Station, Dubai) is part of the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) network operated by Mowasalat (KGL PTS) — the 43-route system documented route by route on this site, from the Rolla and Al Jubail terminals out to the intercity runs to Dubai, Ajman and the east coast. Sharjah is the commuter hinge of the northern Emirates: its city routes feed the terminals, and its intercity routes carry one of the heaviest Dubai-bound bus flows in the country.

💳 Fares & planning the ride

Intercity fares vary by destination — this route’s own fare section above carries its figure; payment is by the Sayer card or cash as the route’s page describes. Planning: SRTA services run to published patterns rather than the minute-grids some aggregator sites invent — this page sticks to the route, its stops and its verified service pattern, and the network’s terminals (Rolla, Al Jubail, and the Sahara Centre and Muwaileh sides) are the natural starting points the route list below is organised around.
