Dubai Expands Bus-on-Demand Service to More Areas
Dubai has taken another step toward more innovative transport. The city has expanded its Bus-on-Demand Service to 10 new locations. Now, residents can enjoy flexible and affordable travel for just Dh5 per trip. The Bus-on-Demand Service offers an app-based transport option.
Instead of fixed routes, buses pick up passengers based on real-time demand. This makes commuting faster and more efficient for daily travelers. Previously, the service operated in limited areas. Now, the expansion covers 10 key locations, including residential and commercial districts.
The move aims to improve mobility while reducing traffic congestion in busy areas. An RTA official emphasized the benefits of this expansion. “This service offers convenience, affordability, and efficiency. We want more residents to choose smart transport over private cars,” he said.
Why More Commuters Are Choosing Bus-on-Demand Service
Many Dubai residents are already switching to the Bus-on-Demand Service. The biggest attraction is affordability. At just AED 5 per trip, it’s much cheaper than taxis or ride-hailing apps. Commuters also appreciate the flexibility.
Instead of waiting at bus stops, they can book a ride when needed. The buses are air-conditioned, modern, and never overcrowded. This makes daily travel more comfortable. “I used to spend a lot on transport. Now, I pay only AED 5 and the service is reliable,” said a resident.
A Step Toward Smarter Public Transport
Dubai continues to invest in smart mobility solutions. Expanding the Bus-on-Demand Service is part of a larger plan to reduce congestion and pollution. Authorities aim to make public transport more accessible and efficient.
Experts believe this move will encourage more people to leave their cars at home. With better transport options, traffic pressure on major roads could decrease. Future plans include integrating this service with the Metro and Tram.
The government is also working on other initiatives to improve city-wide mobility. These include expanding cycling tracks, improving pedestrian walkways, and introducing new transport technologies.
Conclusion
Dubai’s Bus-on-Demand Service is now available in 10 more locations. For just AED 5 per trip, residents can travel easily and affordably. As the city pushes for smarter transport, will more people ditch their cars?
