Staff transport in Sharjah: the short answer

Staff transport in Sharjah with us starts from AED 450 per day for a 13-seater van with driver and fuel, and regular routes are priced per month, per route. The only route price we publish is a daily Sharjah to Dubai return run in a 12 to 15 seat van, from AED 4,800 per month; routes that stay inside Sharjah are shorter and are quoted for their actual stops and timings.

Every route comes with a regular driver where possible, air-conditioning, a seat belt on every seat and a replacement vehicle if the usual one is off the road. You get one written monthly price per route, and changes to headcount or timings are confirmed in writing.

Prices depend on the date and group size. Get yours in a minute.

Three kinds of Sharjah route

Most of the staff transport we plan in Sharjah falls into one of three shapes, and each has its own problem to solve.

Inside Sharjah. Workers living in accommodation in Al Sajaa, the industrial areas or Muwaileh, travelling to warehouses, workshops and factories across the numbered industrial areas. The distances are short. The time goes on collecting from several blocks and getting through the industrial area traffic at shift change, when every company’s bus arrives at once.

To a free zone. Office and warehouse staff living in Al Nahda, Al Taawun, Al Majaz or Rolla, heading to the free zone beside Sharjah Airport or out to Hamriyah on the coast. Free zone gates often ask for vehicle and driver details in advance, which our free zone staff transport guide covers.

Across the border. Staff who live in Sharjah and work in Dubai, or the reverse. The Sharjah to Dubai commute has its own page, Sharjah to Dubai staff transport, and Ajman has Ajman to Dubai staff transport. The reverse run, from Al Qusais or Al Nahda in Dubai to a Sharjah industrial area, is the easy one: the morning queue on Al Ittihad Road is heading the other way.

What slows a Sharjah staff route

Route typeWhat slows itWhat we plan for
Accommodation to industrial areaMany pick-up blocks, shift-change trafficThree to five stops, leave before the rush of other buses
City flats to the airport free zoneAl Wahda Street and the airport road at 8 a.m.Pick-ups on service roads, a 15 minute buffer
Sharjah to HamriyahDistance north along the coast roadA route that finishes north, so nobody rides twice
Dubai homes to Sharjah sitesThe evening run home into DubaiMorning and evening timed separately

We don’t like anyone sitting on a staff bus for much more than an hour and a quarter each way. When one route can’t manage that, we split it into two smaller vehicles before we quote, and tell you why.

Crews, accommodation and the summer break

Crew transport is about three things: a belted seat for every worker, a count at every stop and a vehicle that is cool before anyone gets in. Drivers keep a simple headcount for each run, and supervisors get the driver’s number on the first day.

In summer, the midday break for outdoor work (usually from mid-June to mid-September) changes the day for site crews. Some companies bring people back to the accommodation at midday and out again in the afternoon. That is an extra pair of runs on the route, and we price it as part of the monthly quote rather than as a surprise.

During Ramadan, working hours shorten and shifts move. Send the new timings a week before it starts and we re-plan the pick-ups. See our page on labour transport for how crew runs work in more detail.

Choosing the vehicle

Count the busiest run of the week, add a seat or two for new joiners, then take the smallest vehicle that fits. As a guide, with full-day starting prices for driver and fuel:

Two shifts can often share one vehicle. A van that drops the day shift at 7 a.m. can collect the night shift for the return trip, and the monthly price reflects that. One bigger bus doing a long loop is rarely better than two smaller vehicles on short ones; the workers at the end of the loop are the ones who arrive tired.

What a Sharjah route costs

We price each route per month from the distance, the number of runs each day, the working days, the vehicle size and any waiting between runs. Fuel, the driver and road tolls are included. A route that stays inside Sharjah, with short runs between accommodation and an industrial area, usually costs less than the Sharjah to Dubai run, because the vehicle covers fewer kilometres and spends less time in traffic.

For a full breakdown of what pushes a monthly price up or down, read our staff transport cost guide. Before you sign anything, our staff transport contract checklist lists the questions worth asking any operator.

Starting a route: what to send us

  • The pick-up areas, with an approximate headcount for each
  • The workplace address and the gate or entrance the vehicle should use
  • Start and finish times for each shift, and the working days
  • Any midday runs, Friday changes or Ramadan timings you already know about
  • The date you want the route to start

Send it through the booking form (choose “Staff transport (recurring)”), by email to info@emiratesbushire.com or on WhatsApp at +971 54 126 1681. A trial week on day rates is fine if you want to test the timings before committing to a month.

Frequently asked.

Quick answers for this trip.

How much does staff transport cost in Sharjah?

Vehicles start from AED 450 per day for a 13-seater van with driver and fuel. Regular routes are priced per month, per route; our published Sharjah to Dubai daily return run starts from AED 4,800 per month in a 12 to 15 seat van.

Do you run staff routes inside Sharjah, or only to Dubai?

Both. Routes between accommodation, industrial areas and free zones inside Sharjah are a large part of what we run, alongside routes into Dubai and Ajman.

Can one bus cover two shifts?

Often, yes. If the shift times allow, the same vehicle drops one shift and collects the other, and the monthly price reflects the extra runs.

What happens if the vehicle breaks down or is being serviced?

A replacement vehicle covers the route, and the supervisor is told before the pick-up time.

Can you add a midday run in the summer?

Yes. Many site crews return to the accommodation during the summer midday break. Tell us the times and we add the runs to the monthly quote.

Can you bring staff who live in Dubai to work in Sharjah?

Yes. Routes from Al Qusais, Al Nahda and Muhaisnah in Dubai to Sharjah industrial areas are common, and the morning run against the traffic is usually quick.

What is the minimum contract length?

Monthly contracts start at one month. Short projects and seasonal peaks can be covered by the week.

Does every seat have a seat belt?

Yes, on every vehicle we supply.
