The RTA has said it will make improvements to the journey times of 48 other routes in addition to the new bus routes
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to launch three new metro link bus routes in Dubai on May 19.
The step aims to expand the reach of the local bus network and step up the integration with other mass transit means in the emirate, particularly the metro.
Moreover, some improvements will be introduced on some other routes from the same date, the RTA said in a statement.
The three new metro link bus routes are…
- Route 51, which will shuttle between Al Khail Gate and Business Bay Metro Station, at a frequency of 20 minutes during peak hours
- Route SH1, which will commute between Dubai Mall Metro Station and Sobha Realty Metro Station, at a frequency of 60 minutes
- Route YM1, which will operate between UAE Exchange Metro Station and Yiwu Market, at a frequency of 60 minutes
RTA is also modifying the path of Route F47 to terminate at the Dubai Investment Park Metro Station to shorten the journey.
Commuters heading to Dubai Investments Park should use the current routes F51, F50, F48 and F46.
Route 50 will end at the Business Bay Metro Station to cut the journey time.
Passengers bound for Al Khail Gate should opt for the new Route 51.
Route C15 will be extended to include Al Mamzar Beach Park bus stop to serve additional residential areas. Route E102 will also be extended to end at Al Jaffiliya station, thus the service from the CBD to Abu Dhabi Airport.
The RTA will also make improvements to the journey times of 48 other routes, such as 91A, C04, 91, 84, 81, 77, 67, 66, 64, 62, 61, 53, 51, 50, 29, 24, 22, 21, 17, 13, 8, 7C09, C15, C28, D03, E700, F01, F05, F06, F08, F10, F21, F26, F27, F30, F36, F47, F57, J01, N55, X02, X13, X22, X23, X28, X25 and X64.
