Etihad Rail passengers to get free Yas Island shuttle bus connections under new Abu Dhabi agreement
Etihad Rail and Miral announce plans to connect Abu Dhabi's Mohamed bin Zayed City Station with free Yas Express shuttle buses serving Yas Island attractions
Miral, the operator of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, has partnered with Etihad Rail to introduce a shuttle service that will connect the island's numerous attractions with the city's railway station. The initiative aims to enhance connectivity between Yas Island's theme parks, including Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros World, and SeaWorld, and Etihad Rail's Mohamed bin Zayed City station.
Lisa Goswell, senior vice president of sales at Miral, emphasized the importance of creating a seamless journey, stating that the collaboration with Etihad Rail represents a significant step towards integrating rail travel with the Yas Express network. This partnership aligns with the UAE's vision for smarter, more sustainable mobility, supporting the growth of the tourism sector.
The free shuttle will depart from the station at 7:40 am, 1:05 pm, and 7:35 pm, with each trip taking approximately 30 minutes. In addition to this new service, Yas Express already operates shuttles around Abu Dhabi, connecting theme parks and extending to Dubai and the Northern Emirates. Etihad Rail has expanded its first-mile and last-mile offerings, focusing on making rail travel a practical and convenient option for travelers across the country.
AD Mobility has also introduced two dedicated routes, MR1 and MR2, connecting the railway station with major bus hubs in central Abu Dhabi.
