hi!
Unfortunately the timings are not published online, i did try to find it but found nothing. Hopefully the new venture will be better and the timings will be put up! I guess now the only way to find out is to ask someone who travels or go to the manama stand and ask someone, or if someone knows it i am sure they would reply back

Nothing online just yet until the new system is fully in place in April (which probably means July) The new buses are in effect but only on the existing bus route which is awful.

Excellent, hopefully when the amount of buses and the amount of routes trebles then traffic congestion may calm down. On the road where I live, between 6am and 9am the traffic is solid. The road leads to the highway and then to the Seef junction. The congestion is caused by the idiots who go along the middle lane and then push their way through to the slip road. That turns a 3 lane highway in to a 1 lane highway with accidents happening as people don't expect other drivers in the middle lane to simply stop and then push their way in.
Lets hope these idiots start catching buses so the rest of us can drive safely without being worried about cars attacking you from all angles
