Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) plans to launch 4 new metro link bus routes and enhance the services of several other routes including one Intercity Route, which will be implemented from this 30th August. These plans aim to improve daily transportation experience for passengers, allowing them to smoothly reach their destinations across the Emirate.
The four new routes include replacing Route 31 with two new routes, that include F39 and F40. The route F39, which is the first new route will run from Etisalat Bus Station to Oud Al Muteena Roundabout Bus Stop 1 and back, with a regular frequency of 30-minutes. Whereas, the second new route, F40, will commute from Etisalat Bus Station to Mirdif, Street 78, and back, also with a 30-minute frequency.
Further, two additional routes F56 will be replaced with F58 and F59. F58 will run northward from Al Khail Metro Station to Dubai Internet City and back, with the same frequency of 30-minute. Route F59 will operate from Dubai Internet City Metro Station, heading northward to Dubai Knowledge Village and back, also with a 30-minute frequency.
Additionally, Route 21 will be renamed and divided into two routes, 21A and 21B, on the same date that is 30th August. Route 21A will start from Al Quoz Clinical Pathology Services Bus Stop 1 to Al Ghubaiba Bus Station, while Route 21B will run in the opposite direction, from Al Ghubaiba Bus Station to Al Quoz Clinical Pathology Services Bus Stop 1. These significant changes aim to simplify route identification for passengers, expand service coverage, and improve the overall user experience. Passengers are advised to take note of these changes and plan their journeys accordingly.
On 30th August, Route 61D will be merged with Route 66, similarly Route 95 will be merged with Route 95A, resulting in Route 95A only, to enable users of Route 95 to connect to Route X92. Due to the cancellation of the sector from Al Ghubaiba Station to Oud Metha, the path for route 6 will be shortened to run from the Bus Stop at Oud Metha Metro Station to Dubai Healthcare City.
