Three new Dubai bus routes from tomorrow
The move comes in response to the rise of public bus ridership in the first half of 2014 to 67.5 million riders compared to 59.1 million during the same period last year.
Starting tomorrow, the Public Transport Agency of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will launch three new public bus routes in Dubai to back up metro stations and to meet the rising demand for mass transit.
The move comes in response to the rise of public bus ridership in the first half of 2014 to 67.5 million riders compared to 59.1 million during the same period last year. The public bus occupancy also improved by eight per cent to clock 42.6 per cent. The waiting time of the metro feeder services as well as all public buses has been reduced to seven minutes.
Eisa Al Hashimi, director of Planning and Business Development, Public Transport Agency, said the three new routes will start from bus stations in Al Nahda, Stadium and The Dubai Mall heading to different destinations in Dubai.
