The public bus system in the emirate is undergoing a number of upgrades by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to facilitate easier and more effective transportation. Improved service coverage, shorter travel times, and improved accessibility are the goals of the improvements in important residential, commercial, and emerging districts.
A number of routes have been modified as part of the update, adding new termination points and updated routes through industrial and residential areas. Better connectivity for commuters in expanding neighborhoods is ensured by the addition of new bus stations in developing districts.
Several bus lines in Dubai have undergone updates and modifications, including:

Route E16: Now terminates at Union Bus Station (instead of Sabkha).
