Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to launch three new metro link bus routes in the city on 19 May. The initiative is an attempt 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.

What Are The Three New Routes?

  • The first is Route 51, which will shuttle between Al Khail Gate and Business Bay Metro Station, at a frequency of 20 minutes during peak hours.
  • The second is Route SH1, which will commute between Dubai Mall Metro Station and Sobha Realty Metro Station, at a frequency of 60 minutes.
  • The third is Route YM1, which will operate between UAE Exchange Metro Station and Yiwu Market, at a frequency of 60 minutes.

Those 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 Bus Station, thus the service from the CBD to Abu Dhabi Airport.
