First bus and last bus
The first bus and last bus shift by day and by source. Read this part with care. The task brief gives first about 5:00 AM and last about 11:00 PM. One guide gives first at 6:40 AM on weekdays and 5:55 AM at the weekend, with last at 11:35 PM on weekdays and 10:00 PM at the weekend. Another guide gives first at 5:30 AM and last at 11:00 PM from Jubail. Use first about 5:00 AM to 6:40 AM and last about 10:00 PM to 11:35 PM as a rough guide. Check S’hail on the day you travel and check the live bus for your exact direction. Do not plan a late trip on a single time from this guide. Keep a backup plan in mind when you travel after 10:00 PM.
How often does it run
The E306 bus runs about every 20 to 30 minutes through the day. Most guides agree on that range. One guide gives every 30 minutes as the core pattern, with every 35 minutes off-peak. Peak times in the morning and evening feel more frequent, with buses every 20 minutes at the busiest hours. Midday gaps can feel longer. Plan for about 30 minutes between buses as a safe middle point. Traffic on Ittihad Road can bunch buses together. You may see two buses arrive at once and then a longer gap.
