Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will launch five new public bus routes on August 29, 2025, while upgrading nine existing routes to improve passenger convenience and meet growing demand for public transport across the emirate.
Adel Shakri, Director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency, said: “RTA is continuously committed to expanding and developing public bus services to support Dubai’s public transport network, be in harmony with the Emirate’s population growth, urban expansion, and the progress witnessed across all sectors.”
New Dubai bus routes
- Route 31: Dubai Outsource City – Dubai Silicon Oasis (20-minute intervals during peak hours)
- Route 62A: Al Qusais Industrial Area – Al Qusais Metro Station
- Route 62B: Al Qusais Metro Station – Ras Al Khor (Samari Residences), every 30 minutes in peak hours
- Route F26A: Onpassive Bus Station – Al Quoz Industrial Area 4 (30-minute peak frequency)

Nine routes will be adjusted on the same date to enhance connectivity and daily mobility:
