He knows your building
A driver on his fourth week knows which gate you come out of, which side of the road is safe to stop on, and that the barrier at your tower takes a minute. A new driver has to be told all of it, every time.
About us
We move 6,800 people between Sharjah and Dubai every working day.
Jalal Group Transport has run the Sharjah to Dubai commute since 2020. Not an app, not a marketplace, not a pool of drivers you have never met. Fixed routes, one regular driver on each, and a Coaster that stops at your building.

The story
Started in 2020, on the one road everybody complains about.
Jalal-ud-Din started Jalal Group Transport in 2020 to solve a problem that thousands of people in Sharjah live with every morning: the home is here, the job is in Dubai, and the trip in between eats the day at both ends.
Driving it alone means fuel, Salik, parking and the traffic. Booking a car each morning means a different price every day and a different driver every day. Public transport means walking to it, then waiting for it, then changing.
So we built the boring version. A fixed seat on a fixed route, a driver who is the same person every morning, a pickup at your own building instead of a meeting point, and one monthly figure instead of a daily gamble. It is not clever. It just works, which is why 6,800 people now ride with us every working day and why we hold a 4.8 average from 232 Google reviews.

How we run it
Why the same driver and the same route matter more than they sound.
Most transport problems are not vehicle problems. They are information problems, and a regular driver solves almost all of them without anyone having to send a message.
He knows the road at that hour
The same route at 7:00 AM and at 9:30 AM are two different drives. Running one route daily means the driver learns where it backs up and when to take the other way, instead of following whatever the map says at that second.
He notices when you are not there
If you are usually out by 7:02 and it is 7:05, he calls. That single habit is the difference between missing work and making it, and it only happens when the same person drives the same seats every day.
Nothing to arrange each morning
You set your pickup and your slot once. After that there is no booking, no confirming, no checking a price. The bus comes because it always comes, and the only time you message us is when something changes.
You know who you are riding with
The same faces every morning. For a lot of our riders, and particularly for women commuting alone, riding with a known group and a known driver is the whole reason they moved off ride hailing apps.
No walking to a pickup point
We collect from your own address. In August, and in the rain, and on the mornings you are carrying something, the ten minute walk to a meeting point is exactly the thing that makes people give up on shared transport.
The fleet
Toyota Coasters, in the sizes each route actually needs.
We run Coasters from small to large rather than forcing every route into one vehicle. A quiet route gets a smaller bus and a full one gets a large body, which keeps the ride comfortable instead of half empty or overloaded.
A design with sixty years behind itToyota has built the Coaster since 1969 and the current generation arrived in 2017. It is the default staff bus of the Gulf because it survives this climate and this mileage
Air conditioned throughoutRoof mounted cooling across the cabin, not a dashboard vent trying to cool twenty people in August
Small, mid and large bodiesCoaster configurations run from around 16 seats up to 26 and above, so we match the bus to the route rather than the route to the bus
Serviced on scheduleA Coaster that needs work comes off the road. A breakdown does not make one person late, it makes a whole bus late
Check us before you commit

- Take the free ride and see the vehicle and the driver before any money changes hands
Safety
The part nobody asks about until something happens.
The Coaster is not a converted van. Toyota builds it as a bus, and the current generation ships with real safety engineering as standard rather than as an upgrade.
- Driver and front passenger airbags as standard on the current generation.
- Vehicle Stability Control to help the bus hold its line, which matters most on a wet Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.
- A ringed frame body built for roll over protection.
- Seat belt pre-tensioners and force limiters, which tighten the belt in an impact and then reduce the load on the chest.
- One driver per route, so the person behind the wheel is a known quantity rather than whoever was available that morning.
The drivers
What we expect from the person driving your route.
Our drivers are the whole product. You will meet yours on your free ride, and after that he is the person you deal with every morning rather than a name in an app.
One route, every day
Each driver holds one route rather than rotating across the fleet, so your morning is his routine and not his first attempt.
He calls, he does not just leave
If you are not out at your usual time, your driver rings you before he moves on. You are a person on his list, not a dropped pin that timed out.
Answerable to us, not just to you
If something goes wrong on your route you tell us, not only the driver. One office, one number, and a record of what was agreed when you joined.
We do not publish our drivers' names and photographs online. You will meet the driver for your route on your free ride, and his number goes into your phone from day one.
