RTA completes 726 modern bus shelters’ installation

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority completes a project involving the installation of 726 modern bus shelters for public transport riders, distributed across key areas of the emirate.

The new shelters serve more than 192 million riders annually. Some shelters are linked to more than 10 bus routes, enhancing network flexibility and raising operational efficiency.

Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA: We ensured that the new shelters combine modern, attractive design with integrated services that enhance the mobility experience, strengthen public confidence in the public transport system, and support sustainability objectives, including reducing emissions.

The shelters serve a large number of bus routes — sometimes over ten routes per shelter — which improves network efficiency, cuts travel time, and boosts public transport ridership.
