Which causeway lane actually saves time on a Thursday afternoon?

Skip the lane advice. Leave before 14:20 or after 20:30 and the lane you pick stops mattering. Between those hours the bottleneck is passport control on the Saudi side, not the bridge, and no lane choice moves that.

Is the Manama to Riffa bus reliable enough for a 7am shift start?

I start at seven and the timetable says I would arrive at 06:48, which leaves no margin at all. I would rather hear from someone who actually rides it than trust the published times.

I have taken it daily for two years. The 06:10 is dependable; the 06:35 is the one that drifts, usually by six or seven minutes around the Isa Town junction. Take the earlier one and bring a coffee.
