Hi all,

What do you think about the means of transportation in Sharjah ?

Is the network of means of transportation well developed?
What modes of transport are available?

Do you use them?

How much is a fare?

Are they relatively safe?

What is the mean of transportation you use the most in Sharjah?

Thanks in advance for participating!

Taxis! Unfortunately, the public buses to the other emirates only leave from the main bus station, as of now, though the prices are very reasonable. When I'm traveling to Dubai on the cheap I have the taxi take me to the nearest Dubai metro station and take the metro in (a slow but comfortable metro ride). Many people that live here rent cars long-term. But it depends if you can easily get your license validates.

Taxis will start between 2.50 and 3.00 dhs I think but the minimum charge is 10.00. I have never seen an un-metered taxi here.

Here are some of the bus routes and prices:
