Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the launch of five new public bus routes and the enhancement of nine existing ones starting August 29. The initiative is designed to meet the growing mobility needs of residents while strengthening the city’s overall public transport network.

New Bus Routes.

• Route 31: Will connect Dubai Outsource City and Dubai Silicon Oasis, with services every 20 minutes during peak hours.

• Route 62A and 62B: The current Route 62 will be split into two. Route 62A will serve Al Qusais Industrial Area and Al Qusais Metro Station, while Route 62B will connect Al Qusais Metro Station to Ras Al Khor – Samari Residences, both running every 30 minutes in peak times.

• Route F26A: Will run between Onpassive Bus Station and Al Quoz Industrial Area 4, providing a convenient link every 30 minutes.

• Route X91: An express service between Al Ghubaiba Bus Station and Jebel Ali Bus Station. Unlike Route 91, it will not stop at Business Bay Metro Station, which will instead be served by the adjusted Route 91.

A Step Towards Smarter Mobility.
