Bahrain Bus A2, U2 & X2: Complete Guide — To University of Bahrain
Bahrain Bus Routes A2, U2, and X2 all connect different starting points to the University of Bahrain’s Sakhir campus, making this corridor one of the most important for students across the island. Together, Bahrain Bus Routes A2/U2/X2 give commuters from the airport, Manama, and Muharraq direct options to reach the university.
About Bahrain Bus Routes A2, U2 & X2
These three routes share the same destination but take different paths, so choosing the right one depends on where you’re starting from. Route A2 begins at the Bahrain Investment Gateway and passes through the airport before reaching City Centre, Seef, and eventually the university via the SKBS Highway and Souq Waqif. Route U2 starts in Manama and takes a more northern path through Muharraq’s Qalali, Samaheej, and Busaiteen areas — note that U2 is temporarily withdrawn during the summer university holiday period, since demand drops when students aren’t on campus. Route X2 starts from The Avenues shopping mall and follows a similar central path to A2 via Manama and City Centre.
