“The fare reduction initiative for the bus-on-demand service in Business Bay area will enhance traffic flow, contributing to smoother movement in this vital area," said Adel Shakri, Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency.
The RTA plans to expand the service to 10 areas by the end of the first half of 2025, Shakri said. A fleet of 41 buses will be serving the network.
"The service is expected to witness broader uptake among public transport users," he added.
Passengers can book a ride through the Dubai Bus On-Demand app.
The app connects selected areas with small public buses, allowing users to determine their route from the starting point to their destination. Fares are paid directly through the app.
"The service provides an innovative solution for first- and last-mile trips, bridging the gap between passengers’ residences and the nearest public transport stations,” Shakri said.
