TL;DR

Free shuttle buses to Yas Island no longer operate. Get there by public transport or taxi (local or Yandex).

Confirmed via the Yas Island official app chat: free shuttle buses have been discontinued. The recommended option is public transport.

Even last year, the bus from Saadiyat to Yas Island only ran for theme park ticket holders. That option is now gone too. Taxi — local or Yandex — is the main way to get there.

Previously, Mercury hotel on Yas Island ran a free shuttle for guests with theme park tickets. That no longer exists. Public buses run from Ibn Battuta Metro Station in Dubai; taxis are available but not cheap.
