Weekends are definitely busier and happening in places like Dubai. Dubai bus routes are already very convenient but now with the addition of another weekend-exclusive bus route, it is going to be all the more easier to travel around in Dubai. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has introduced a new weekend-exclusive bus route — W20 — from February 9.
Operating from Friday to Sunday between 5pm and 11pm, the service will offer half-hourly departures, connecting Stadium Metro Station with Al Mamzar Beach. It will benefit Al Mamzar beachgoers, especially the half-early basis, making it convenient for bus riders. As it happens, the intention is also to optimize several public bus routes to elevate the daily transport experience for people in the emirate.
RTA is also augmenting several public bus routes to improve the daily commute of passengers. Some of the measures include restructuring the mobility of bus commuters and reducing travel times.
Routes renames
Besides the new bus route, RTA announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday February 8 some tweaks were being made to other bus services.
Route 11B will be renamed Route 11, Routes 16A and 16B are rerouted and renamed Routes 16 and 25, respectively. Route 16 will start from Al Rashdiya Bus Station to Al Awir, while Route 25 will leave from the Gold Souq Bus Station to Al Rashdiya.
Route F62 will be extended to include Dubai Festival City and the Al Garhoud neighbourhood. Route C04 will extend to the Mohammed bin Rashid Library. Routes 103 and 106 will offer direct, non-stop services from main stations to the Global Village. Route E303 is rerouted via Al Ittihad Street to Sharjah.
Additionally, RTA’s Public Transport Agency will introduce journey time improvements for 13 bus routes: 5, 7, 62, 81, 110, C04, C09, E306, E307A, F12, F15, F26, and SH1.
