Currently, there are no direct buses to Hulhumale’ Phase II and the only option is to travel to Phase I from Male’ via bus then take an additional bus to Phase II. It costs MVR 15 for this trip. Azim had previously said that direct bus services were not provided to Phase II due to bus shortages and back then they had expected to start the direct bus services from September.
Hulhumale Phase II currently has a large population and the lack of direct bus was a concern to many.
