The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is studying the possibility of introducing dedicated bus lanes across Dubai to reduce commute time and traffic congestion, and encourage more people to take public transport, senior RTA officials confirmed to Khaleej Times on Monday.
"The RTA continuously looks at enhancing its bus services whilst considering various factors, which include on time performance (ensuring timely arrival of buses at various bus stops) and optimising the efficiency of the bus network and reducing operational cost," an RTA spokesperson has said.
"To achieve this, we are studying and reviewing our bus network as well as selected roads located at high population density areas and congested spots in Dubai," the official added.
"Currently, we have dedicated 'bus and taxi lanes' across Dubai in areas of Khalid Bin Al Waleed, Naif, Al Khaleej, Mankhool and Al Mamzar while our 'Intercity Bus Service network is operated through major highways which include Sheikh Zayed Road, Emirates Road, Ittihad Road and Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Road.
"By 2019, we plan to construct 32km of bus lanes in Al Mankhool, Al Rashid, Amman Street and Khalid Bin Al Waleed," the RTA official revealed.
The plan is similar to the bus rapid transit (BRT) or transitway in other major urban centres that is designed to improve the capacity and reliability relative to a conventional bus route system.
