Life will be even nicer for public bus users in Dubai with this announcement from RTA
There are 726 new bus shelters around Dubai for for public transport riders and you’ll find them across the emirate for you to use while you’re waiting for the bus.
The shelters serve more than 192 million riders annually and some are linked to more than 10 bus routes, so the updates come as a welcome change. There are seven different models based on usage levels, these include Main Stop (serving more than 750 riders per day); Secondary Stop (accommodating between 250 and 750 riders per day); Standard Stop (serving between 100 and 250 riders per day); and Pick-up and Drop-off Stop (serving fewer than 100 riders per day).
The shelters by RTA Dubai are a newer modern design and part of the shelter space at main stops has been designated as air-conditioned, with shaded outdoor areas and advertising spaces. You’ll also find information displays providing bus network maps, timetables, service frequency, and other riders info and services.
