Helpful Staff

The depot has extensive, neatly organised parking and plenty of vehicles meeting RTA standards.
Organised Grounds

Driver Training
RTA training is available, including school-bus-driver training with an approachable trainer.

Tips for a Better Visit
Use Bus 20. For the e-test, bus 20 from Centrepoint bus station bay 3 stops at the main gate.
Allow Time. Plan extra travel time: the bus journey from Centrepoint was reported to take 40–50 minutes.
Arrive Early. For an e-test, arrive at least 15 minutes early rather than relying on a tight connection.
Bring Licence. Carry your original driving licence to the e-test, as one visitor specifically advised.
Pack Water. Bring drinking water and sun protection for outdoor waiting, since shade and an indoor waiting area may be unavailable.
Check Updates. If an e-test result is delayed, follow up by phone or email; one review reported a 20-day update delay.

The Bottom Line
RTA Al Awir Bus Depot is a large operational RTA site in Warsan, mainly used for bus maintenance, servicing and parking. For visitors, the most relevant facility is the RTA e-test centre, used by taxi and limousine drivers, while reviews also mention RTA training for school-bus drivers and taxi-driver permit services. Staff are often described as respectful and helpful, and the grounds are orderly, with clearly displayed speed limits and neatly arranged bus parking.
The main drawback is distance. One detailed review says bus 20 from Centrepoint bus station bay 3 reaches the main gate but takes around 40–50 minutes. Arrive at least 15 minutes before an e-test and carry your original driving licence.
The depot is not a casual public attraction: one review says only authorised personnel can enter, so confirm your purpose before travelling. Plan for a functional rather than comfortable visit. Reviews mention no public parking, no nearby canteen or shops, and no cafeteria.
E-test candidates may wait outside without shade or a proper visitor waiting area, so bring water and sun protection. Staff and security receive mostly positive comments, although one older review criticised a gate guard’s communication and attitude. If your result is delayed, follow up by phone or email.
