Six new bus routes were inaugurated on August 1, covering several locations in Dubai and offering feeder services to Dubai Metro, according to Eisa Abdul Rahman Al Dossari, CEO of the Road and Transport Authority’s (RTA’s) Public Transport Agency.

Al Dossari revealed that all new six routes would start from Ibn Battuta Metro Station and will cover several areas in the emirate; rendering mobility on public transport modes in Dubai a fast, smooth and effective exercise.

“The RTA is keen on widening public transport networks to cope with the urban and demographic expansion of the emirate. The Metro stations’ feeder bus service is one of the strategic initiatives and prime pillars of the drive to boost the share of public transport modes in the number of person trips made as it contributes to enticing more commuters across the community segments to use public transport in their daily travels. The increased ridership of public transport modes will have a positive impact on traffic flow, improve the environment, ease traffic jams, reduce traffic accidents, boost traffic safety and considerably cut pollution levels resulting from massive numbers of private cars on road’s” said Al Dossari.
