Updates to Existing Bus Routes in Dubai
Dubai’s public transport network will also undergo several updates, including new bus stops, extensions, and modifications to 70 existing services. For the full details of these updates, including specific bus stop changes and route adjustments, please visit the official RTA website here.
Adjusting to changes always take a little time, but the goal is to create a better commuting experience for all.

Even if you’re living in the city for a long time, you’ll be positively surprised!
