Furthermore, support services are available 24/7 via the unified Service Support Centre of DMT and the Taxi Call Centre.
Public Bus Services
Public bus services, including both local and regional routes, will operate according to the regular weekend schedule during the Eid Al Fitr holiday.

Moreover, special bus services such as the Abu Dhabi Express and the ‘Abu Dhabi Link’ will run from 6 am to 11 pm throughout the holiday, providing extended transportation options for commuters.
