Staying connected while commuting just got easier in Dubai. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has confirmed that 31 public transport stations across the city are now equipped with free Wi-Fi, helping residents and visitors stay online as they travel.
As of May 13, passengers can access complimentary internet at two additional marine transport hubs: Marina Promenade and Dubai Marina Mall Marine Transport Station. These new additions bring the total number of connected locations to 17 bus stations and 14 marine transport stations.

The RTA’s partnership with telecom provider e& (formerly Etisalat) means users can access the free Wi-Fi using their smartphones, tablets, or laptops. Whether you’re navigating your route, catching up on messages, or simply passing the time, you’ll now be able to stay online at more points across the network.
The RTA has also announced that its plan is to extend Wi-Fi service to all 43 public bus and marine transport stations across the emirate by mid-summer. Commuters on the Dubai Metro already benefit from Wi-Fi provided by du across the Red and Green Lines.
