Sharjah to Ajman Bus Timings: Routes 112 and 114

Two SRTA routes run between Sharjah and Ajman: bus 112 from Al Jubail Station and bus 114 from East Street. The fare is AED 6 one way, the cheapest intercity bus journey in the UAE. Buses start around 06:00 and run to about 23:45, with the 114 every 15 minutes and the 112 every 30. Allow well over an hour, as this corridor is heavily congested.

The Sharjah to Ajman bus at a glance

Sharjah and Ajman sit directly against each other, and the built-up areas run together with no real gap between them. That makes this the shortest intercity hop in the country by distance, and by far the cheapest.

Item	Detail
Routes	112 and 114
Operator	SRTA, the Sharjah transport authority
Fare	AED 6 one way, on both routes
Service hours	About 06:00 to 23:45
Frequency	Every 15 minutes on the 114, every 30 on the 112
Commonly quoted journey time	Around 2 hours

At AED 6, this costs less than half the Dubai to Sharjah fare and roughly a fifth of the Dubai to Abu Dhabi fare. These are local city buses rather than intercity coaches, which is why the price is so low.

Routes 112 and 114 compared

The two routes serve different parts of both cities, so the right one depends on where you are starting and where you are going in Ajman.

Feature	Route 112	Route 114
Sharjah start	Al Jubail Station	East Street
Ajman destination	Nesto Supermarket area	City Centre, Chinese Market, Ambassador Centre
Frequency	Every 30 minutes	Every 15 minutes
First bus	About 06:00	About 06:35
Best for	Connecting from intercity services at Al Jubail	Ajman city centre and shopping

The 112 is the one to take if you are arriving in Sharjah on an intercity bus, since Al Jubail is the main terminal where the Dubai routes and the Abu Dhabi 117 also stop. That makes it the natural connection for a longer journey.

The 114 wins on frequency, running twice as often, and its Ajman stops are better placed for shopping and the city centre. If you are already in Sharjah and heading into Ajman proper, it is usually the better choice.

Sharjah to Ajman bus timings

Both routes are daytime and evening services, starting later than the long-distance intercity buses and running until close to midnight.

Route	From	First bus	Last bus
112	Al Jubail Station	About 06:00	About 23:45
114	East Street	About 06:35	Late evening

A 06:00 start is late compared with the Sharjah to Abu Dhabi 117, which runs from 03:45. If you need to be in Ajman before about 07:30, the bus will not get you there, and that is worth knowing before you plan an early shift around it.

Ajman to Sharjah bus timings

The return journey uses the same route numbers, running back from the Ajman stops to Al Jubail and East Street respectively.

Route	From Ajman	To Sharjah	Pattern
112	Nesto Supermarket area	Al Jubail Station	Roughly every 30 minutes through the day
114	City Centre and Ambassador Centre stops	East Street	Roughly every 15 minutes through the day

Because these are frequent local services rather than scheduled coaches, the return is far more forgiving than on the long intercity routes. Missing a 114 costs you 15 minutes rather than an hour, so this is one of the few UAE bus journeys you can genuinely turn up for.

SRTA publishes less schedule detail than RTA, so these are indicative windows. Sharjah runs its own journey planner and travel card separately from Dubai’s Nol system.

Fare and onboard facilities

At AED 6 this is the cheapest journey between two emirates anywhere in the UAE, and the buses are better equipped than the price suggests.

Item	Detail
Single journey	AED 6, on both routes
Return	AED 12 in total
Versus Dubai to Sharjah	AED 4 cheaper
Air conditioning	Yes, throughout
Dedicated sections	Ladies, People of Determination, and families

The separate seating sections for ladies, People of Determination and families are standard on these services, which makes them comfortable for a wider range of passengers than the price would suggest. Because this is an SRTA route rather than an RTA one, do not assume Nol is the payment method here. The wider fare picture is in our UAE bus timings guide.

Why the journey takes so long?

The commonly quoted journey time of around two hours looks wrong for two cities that share a border, and it deserves an explanation rather than a straight repetition.

These are local stopping buses, not express coaches. They pick up along the way rather than running directly, and the Sharjah to Ajman corridor carries some of the heaviest traffic in the country, particularly at peak times. Between the number of stops and the congestion, a journey that would take 20 minutes in clear conditions stretches out considerably.

In practice your journey will vary a great deal with the time of day. Travelling outside the morning and evening peaks makes a substantial difference on this route, more so than on any other intercity pair. If you are driving instead, our UAE traffic, vehicle and fines guide covers fines and vehicle checks across the emirates.
