Dubai: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the launch of five new public bus routes starting August 29, 2025, in a move to keep pace with the growing demand for public transport and to enhance connectivity across the emirate.
Adel Shakri, Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency, said the new services reflect RTA’s commitment to expanding Dubai’s bus network in line with the city’s population growth, urban development, and overall progress.
