Bus Services at Abu Dhabi International School

Front of the MBZ campus of the Abu Dhabi International School

AIS offers a two-way bus service for students. Pre-school, kindergarten, and prep students have different timings so will have different vehicles from the buses for elementary, middle, and high school grades..

In some cases, if there are not sufficient numbers of students registered on a route, the students may be given an option to use Grade 1-12 buses in the morning and afternoon.

How to register for bus services

Bus services are provided on a first-come-first-serve basis. During enrollment, parents must apply for bus services and complete the payment.
Print and complete the Bus Transport Application form.

Applications may be declined if the student lives outside the designated routes.

Rules for bus transport

The Bus Transport Regulations sheet includes updated information on registrations, fees and payments, cancellations and change in address, and routes and schedules.

It also covers rules for students to observe while waiting at the bus stops or travelling in the bus. We encourage parents to communicate these rules to their children. Students who break the rules repeatedly or behave in a manner that threatens the safety of others will be denied the privilege to use the bus.
