In other news, RTA also inaugurated five new public bus routes on August 29, as part of efforts to expand its network in line with population growth and urban expansion.
New RTA bus routes
Adel Shakri, director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency, said the new services aim to provide faster and more convenient connections while strengthening integration with other modes such as the metro, tram and marine transport.
Among the additions, Route 31 will link Dubai Silicon Oasis with Dubai Outsource City, operating every 20 minutes during peak hours.
Two routes, 62A and 62B, will replace the existing Route 62, serving Al Qusais Metro Station and extending connections to Ras Al Khor’s Samari Residences, with 30-minute headways.
Route F26A will connect Onpassive Bus Station with Al Quoz Industrial Area 4, also at 30-minute intervals. Route X91 will provide an express link between Al Ghubaiba and Jebel Ali Bus Stations, bypassing Business Bay Metro Station.
At the same time, nine existing routes will be modified to improve efficiency. These include converting circular routes such as Route 7, Route 77 and Route F62 into two-directional services, shortening Route 91 to run only between Al Ghubaiba and Business Bay, and adjusting others such as Routes 21A, 21B, 50, X25 and J01.
In other news, the RTA reopened its Customer Happiness Centres in Umm Ramool and Al Barsha following comprehensive redevelopment to transform them into hybrid centres.
The initiative forms part of RTA’s integrated plan to expand digital service provision in line with the UAE Digital Government Strategy and Dubai Government’s “Services 360” vision.
The two centres now offer customers fully automated services through digital devices, alongside service advisors dedicated to specific beneficiary groups, thereby further enhancing customer happiness.
