Dates, prices, routes and all the information you need ahead of the Dubai RTA On & Off Bus launch

 

How about a tour of Dubai? The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is all set to launch a brand new ‘On & Off Bus’ initiative – perfect for both residents and tourists looking to explore the emirate.

 

 

How much will the On & Off Bus cost?

 

Starting in September, the bus will operate from 10am to 10pm every 60 minutes. The journey will take two hours, and the trip will cost AED 35 per person, valid for an entire day.

What landmarks will the On & Off Bus cover?

 

Departing 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.

Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of the Public Transport Agency, highlighted the 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,” he added.

So if you were looking for a new and hassle-free way to rediscover the city, or show it off to those visiting – this September is bringing you the perfect answer!
