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.
