The person is looking for help you moron not an snotty attitude.

Just becuase you are a "priviledged", by circumstance, not ability you don't have to rub it in!!!

By the way to the poster, public transport is very hard in Dubai. I think there is a bus that goes along Al Soffou road all the way to port rashid. You may want to look into the RTA website and their bus schedules. Your best bet will be to post something at the lobby of your building or the spinney's in the Marina and there you might fing a car pool. Good luck.

I am amazed that someone living in Marina doesnt have his own car... heh heh. Anyway..
There are shuttle services available that will take you to and from work and you pay them monthly. Usually though the route is from the downtown area going to J.A, DIC/DMC and New Dubai area in the morning and then back in the afternoon- as most peeps who doesnt have their own wheels live in the downtown area and work in the uptown area.

On my way to a meeting this mornign I drove behind bus no. X25 along beach road and then Al Mina Road (bur dubai). The digital display on the back of the bus said: "X25 Dubai Marina" and then it changed to "X25 Quasis PTA Office" (perphas that is the destination at the other end).

Check www.rta.ae for more info on bus routes, etc.

Good luck.

Mark,

I am an M&E QS just recently moved to Dubai. I have sent you a PM anwering some of your queries. I forgot to mention on the message that International City is quite far away from where you will probably be based. It is certainly at least a 30 -40 minute drive from The Marina in rush hour.

Let me know if you have any other queries,

Nick
