The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai recently announced the introduction of direct buses from the Business Bay metro station to other metro stations, aiming to provide seamless commutes for passengers. Additionally, four Dubai Metro stations, namely OnPassive, Equity, Mashreq, and Energy Metro, will resume normal operations by May 28 after being temporarily closed due to heavy rains in mid-April.
These direct bus routes will depart from Exit 2 at the Business Bay metro station and connect to various destinations, including OnPassive station, Mall of the Emirates, Equiti, Mashreq stations, as well as Al Khail and Dubai Internet City stations. In an effort to promote passenger safety, RTA has implemented crowd management protocols at Dubai Metro stations during peak hours.
Moreover, in response to the increasing demand for transportation services in the Business Bay area, RTA has expanded the ‘Bus On Demand’ service, which operates through the ‘Dubai Bus On Demand’ app. This service utilizes 14-seater buses, with drivers communicating directly with service requesters via the app to ensure convenient pick-up points in areas like Al Barsha, Al Nahda, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Business Bay.
With the latest developments in place, commuters in Dubai can look forward to a more efficient and convenient public transportation system. By offering direct bus routes and implementing crowd management protocols, RTA aims to enhance the overall commuting experience for passengers using the Dubai Metro. The expansion of the ‘Bus On Demand’ service in the Business Bay area further underscores RTA’s commitment to meeting the evolving transportation needs of residents and visitors in the emirate.
