Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced a major revamp of its inner-city bus network, set to begin this week.
The update includes four new routes launching on Friday, January 9—mainly benefiting residents of Al Satwa and Al Wasl—along with improvements to more than 70 existing routes, covering changes to schedules, frequencies, stops, and peak-hour alignments.
