Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority intercity bus service, across the emirates, is amazing and beneficial to the public who consider commuting to work and business by bus instead of using their own personal vehicle which makes a huge difference in traffic load on the busy Dubai roads (“RTA optimises bus routes to streamline mobility in Dubai,” Nov.18, Gulf Today website).

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced changes in several public bus routes in Dubai from Nov.20, 2023, to ease the daily mobility of riders and enable them smooth and hassle-free journeys to their intended destination across the emirate.

Some of the changes involve renaming and restructuring certain bus routes as follows: Route 11A will be replaced by Routes 16A and 16B. Route 16A will run from the Residency and Foreigners Affairs Department, Al Awir Branch, to the Gold Souq Bus Station. Conversely, Route 16B will cover the return journey from the Gold Souq Bus Station back to the Residency and Foreigners Affairs Department, Al Awir Branch.

I am sure the new changes by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority in the bus routes will make it more beneficial for expats and enable residents of Emirates to have a smooth and comfortable journey to their intended destination.
