Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will introduce five new public bus routes on 29 August 2025, while upgrading nine existing routes to enhance passenger convenience and accommodate the rising demand for public transport across the emirate.
Adel Shakri, Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency, stated: “RTA remains committed to expanding and developing public bus services to strengthen Dubai’s transport network, aligning with the emirate’s population growth, urban development, and the progress being achieved across all sectors.”
