Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is all set to launch 4 new bus routes and introduce improvements to many others by Oct.20, 2019.
The step is in line with RTA’s ongoing efforts to improve Dubai Bus network and enhance the integration with other mass transit means.

The second is Route J03 from Dubai Studio City to Damac Hills to serve the two communities at a 60-minute frequency. The third is J04 from Dubai Studio City to Ramram to serve communities in between.
The fourth is Metro Link service (F70) from Burjuman Metro Station to Dubai Museum to serve tourist areas such as Al Fahidi Heritage Village and Dubai Museum,” announced Adel Shakri, Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency.
“We will also improve other lines starting October 20. The path of Route X22 from Al Qusais Industrial Area 2 to the Business Bay MS will change to pass along Happiness Street.
