F21 Bus Route Dubai 2026: Al Nahda Metro Station to Al Nahda 2 – Timings, Stops, Fare & Map

Dear All, here are the details about the F21 Bus Route Dubai is a feeder service connecting Al Nahda Metro Station to the Al Nahda 2 residential area, covering roughly 21 stops over 9-10 kilometres. As with other “F”-prefixed routes, it’s designed to bridge the last-mile gap between a Metro station and a specific residential community.

Before relying on this guide, know that this is genuinely one of the more confusing route codes to research online: multiple independent sources describe F21 as the Al Nahda Metro-to-Al Nahda 2 service covered here, but at least one other source instead describes F21 as connecting Business Bay Metro Station to residential areas of Business Bay and Al Safa – a completely different part of the city. This guide follows the Al Nahda version since it’s corroborated by more independent sources, but this remains a genuine, unresolved discrepancy. If your trip depends on this specific route, confirm directly with RTA which service applies to you.
