Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to launch a the On & Off Bus initiative aimed at attracting both residents and visitors to visit the city’s iconic landmarks and touristic attractions.
Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of the Public Transport Agency at RTA, highlighted RTA’s commitment to bolstering tourism in Dubai, given its vital role in driving the emirate’s economic growth and GDP. “The Dubai On & Off Bus will contribute to the integration of the public transport system in Dubai as it connects with other modes of public transport, such as the metro, marine transport, and public buses, especially at Al Ghubaiba station, which is a hub for metro, marine, and public bus services.”
Starting from Dubai Mall, passengers will visit eight of Dubai’s key attractions and celebrated landmarks – Dubai Frame, Heritage Village, Museum of the Future, Gold Souk, Dubai Mall, La Mer Beach, Jumeirah Mosque, and City Walk.
The bus will pass through nine stops across the eight landmarks in addition to Al Ghubaiba Metro, Bus and Marine Transport Station, a model of Dubai’s integrated public transport network.
The On & Off Bus, starting in September, will depart from Dubai Mall and operate from 10am to 10pm, every 60 minutes. The journey will take two hours, and the fare will cost AED35 per person, valid for an entire day.
