The RTA’s Public Transport Agency aims to enhance journey times for 33 other bus routes, emphasizing the commitment to expand and integrate the public bus network with other transport modes, such as metro, tram, and marine transport. The goal is to create seamless connections between these modes, making public transport the preferred choice for commuting within the emirate.
