The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that they will be opening up 7 new bus routes in Dubai, 2 new metro links and make changes to 24 routes as part of their expansion program.
The new routes and changes to old ones is an initiative from the RTA to aid in the growing demand for public transport, specifically bus services. The ongoing urbanisation and business development in Dubai also had a big impact on the decision to implement this.
