Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has rolled out major updates to the public bus network. The changes include rerouting of some lines, new stops in expanding communities, and revised end points for better accessibility.

The update supports RTA’s long-term plans to make public transport the preferred option across the city and reduce road congestion. Below, you can find all the changes to Dubai bus routes:

Rerouted Bus Services

  • Route 24: Adjusted path within Al Nahda 1
  • Route 44: Now runs through Dubai Festival City instead of Rebat Street
  • Route F12: Rerouted between Satwa Roundabout and Wasal Park via Kuwait Street
  • Route F47: Updated routing within Jebel Ali Industrial area

Route Extensions

  • Route 56: Extended to serve DWC Staff Village

New or Relocated Bus Stops

  • Routes 66 & 67: Added stop in Al Ruwayyah Farm
  • Route C26: Stop moved from Al Jafiliya Bus Station to Max Metro Bus Stop 2
  • Route F27: Also relocated to Max Metro Bus Stop 2

Route Curtailments or Termination Point Changes

  • Route 32C: Section between Al Jafiliya and Satwa Bus Stations removed (transfer to F27 now required)

Beyond the route changes, the RTA continues to pilot and plan future mobility projects like the electric bus (now on F13), bus pooling service, Bus on Demand in 11 areas of the city, and flying taxis. Plus 43 public transport stations across Dubai now offer free Wi-Fi — another small convenience that makes a big difference for daily riders.

For regular commuters and curious residents, now’s a good time to explore the city’s expanding public transport options.
