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.

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!
