Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched two new circular bus routes to enhance the city’s public transport network.
The routes, DH1 and DA2, connect Dubai Hills with Equity Metro Station and DAMAC Hills with Dubai Studio City, respectively, the Dubai Media Office (DMO) said in a statement.
Adel Mohammed Shakeri, Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency, said, these routes aim to “facilitate movement throughout the emirate. This includes providing convenient, fast, and seamless mobility options to improve integration with developer communities,” according to the statement.
