Business & Finance Club - Dubai: Emirates has increased the frequency of its free-of-charge buses servicing the Al Ain and Abu Dhabi routes and ferrying the airline's passengers to and from Emirates' Terminal 3 in Dubai, a statement has said.

"The new frequencies have been implemented to help passengers reach Emirates Terminal 3 conveniently and with no added stress," Emirates said in the statement.

"In addition to the increased services Emirates has also invested significantly in revamping the bus, both inside and out," the statement added.

"The bus interior is well air-conditioned with new more comfortable seating, whilst the exterior features an impressive Emirates aircraft decal, designed to stand out on the UAE's busy roads."

Khalid Bel Jaflah, Emirates Vice-President of Commercial Operations in the UAE, said: "As an airline we are all about connecting people and this value added bus service is just another aspect of our dedication to get passengers to their destination with minimum hassle and maximum comfort."

With an estimated travel time of less than two hours, the newly designed bus has the capacity to seat 49 Emirates passengers comfortably.

A single, dedicated pick-up and drop-off point has been identified in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, to help cut down on passenger travel time.

Dubai will have two collection and drop-off points to account for arrivals and departures at Emirates' Terminal 3.
