Dubai - New routes to cover Al Furjan Metro Station, Discovery Gardens, Dubai Internet City Station and Al Khail Metro Station

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is ringing in the New Year with the announcement of two new bus routes. Starting January 1, RTA is launching two bus routes that are metro link services for stations of Route 2020.

The first is Route F45, which starts from Al Furjan Metro Station and heads to the Discovery Gardens at a 20-minute frequency during peak hours. The second is Route F56, which starts from the Dubai Internet City Station and heads to Al Khail Metro Station at a frequency of 15 minutes during peak hours.

“In parallel on the same date, RTA would discontinue two bus routes. The first is Route 85 from Dubai Internet City Metro Station to Discovery Gardens. The second is Route F42 from Ibn Battuta Metro Station to Discovery Gardens,” said Adel Shakeri, Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency.

In the same context, the Public Transport Agency has introduced several changes on December 27, including revising the transit time of certain bus routes and the rescheduling of the service timing of several others.
