Bahrain Transportation

Causeway Driving

by american_tourister

There is no bus line service across the causeway. There are mini busses chartered by the airlines. Your airline may be able to set you up with that. Another route is to take a Saudi taxi to the border and then another from there. There is a compnay called Hanco that will drive you all the way.

Bahrain Airport

by zuyao

The Bahrain Airport is a fairly nice and easy-to-navigate airport. It isn't too big, so you wouldn't need to scramble to the gates. There is a good selection of food outlets, cafes and duty-free shops. All in all, a nice place to transit for a few hours compared to many other regional airports.

Bus

by thelittlevoice

Bus was a pretty good way to get around. It doesn't take you to all places but it's good enough. For example, we took Bus No.3 near the hostel to the center of Manama and from there we could catch Bus No.7(2 would work too) to Muharraq.

To and from Airport and City

by Sambawalk

From Airport to City:If you want to save $$ by not taking taxi, which may cost BHD 5-7, you can catch minibus for only 150 fil or 0.15 BHD. If you ask anyone at the airport, they may not know about this minibus as I think all of them are rich enough to have car.To catch the minibus, you should walk out of the arrival hall, turn to your right and walk under the bridge from departure hall above, then walk towards the roundabout (about 3 mins walk from arrival hall). The minibus stop is about 50m (1-2 mins) from that roundabout on your right side. There is a bus stand, but it may not be obvious enough to spot from the roundabout. Good luck.That is not finished yet. The minibus will only take you to the bus terminal in Muharraq where you need to catch another a bigger public bus No.2 for (100 fil - April 2006) to downtown Manama. The bus driver is friendly and will direct you. From Manama...

General tips on Living in Bahrain - Transportation

by xty

For transportation, there are several public bus routes (0.2 BD per trip), though it's quite rare.Taxis (metered/unmetered/shared) are everywhere, it costs up to 2 BD for in-the-city trip.Renting a car (150-170 BD/month for small car) is another choice. Buying car also is an option as car (new/used) are quite cheap here.Also it's common for some companies to have a pick-up and drop-off transportation (usually by a van, shared with other staffs) from/to your job place and accommodation (pooling point).
