- Route 104 from Al Ghubaiba Bus Station: operating every 60 minutes

Coach buses are deployed along these routes to ensure a comfortable and safe travel experience for passengers.
In the previous season (2023–2024), RTA’s Global Village bus services carried 573,759 passengers, marking a 22% increase from the 448,716 passengers recorded during the 2022–2023 season.
