New bus route to cater to Noor Bank Station

Dubai - Route F26, a metro station feeder service, will start from the bus stop near Noor Bank Metro Station and run through Interchange 4, Umm Suqeim Road.

The Public Transport Agency, Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), will launch a new bus route (F26) from November 1 with the aim of meeting the rising demand for the service.
"The launch of the new route on Sunday is a quick response to the needs of mass transport riders, and fits well with the booming economic activities in the Emirate which is part of the upswing witnessed by the UAE," said Engineer Adel Mohammed Shakri, Director of Planning & Business Development, RTA Public Transport Agency.
"Route F26, a metro station feeder service, will start from the bus stop near Noor Bank Metro Station and run through Interchange 4, Umm Suqeim Road. It will serve all districts of Al Quoz Industrial Areas 1, 2, and 3 and will pass through the First Gulf Bank Metro Station, residential quarters of National Cement Company, and other key geographic landmarks in the area," stated Shakri.
The Director of Planning & Business Development reiterated the keenness of the RTA to widen and improve the public transport network to cope with the demographic expansion seen by the Emirate of Dubai. "Public bus routes are one of the key strategies of raising the number of journeys made by the public transport means through attracting more riders from various community members to use these means in their daily mobility.
Such a transition promises to have positive impacts on the traffic movement and the cleanliness of the environment. Increasing the ridership of public transport means will ease the traffic congestion, minimise road accidents, raise the traffic safety level, and significantly diminish the environmental pollution caused by exhausts of the massive numbers of vehicles.
