Dubai’s RTA has committed to achieving a 25 per cent public transport share by 2030, a target that is steadily gaining momentum
According to the RTA, Dubai Metro’s Red and Green Lines served 2.32 million riders during the period
Dubai Metro ridership on both the Red and Green Lines hit 123.4 million riders, with Burjuman and Union stations accounting for the majority of riders
The RTA has said it will make improvements to the journey times of 48 other routes in addition to the new bus routes
The figure reflects a 33 per cent rise from last year’s number, which was 1,632,552 riders
The roadmap for achieving zero-emission public transport is based on initiatives related to infrastructure, the circular economy and green mobility
According to the RTA, Dubai Metro ridership on both the Red and Green Lines reached 109.1 million riders in the first half of 2022
Last year, the daily average number of riders using mass transit means and taxis reached 1.3 million, compared to approximately 948,000 in 2020
All the seats within the metro trains and public buses can now be occupied
The RTA had allocated 57 buses for Expo visitors from nine locations in Dubai, operating 455 to 476 trips per day
Public buses will operate an additional 100 trips every day on main routes during the holidays
On average, approximately 947,000 riders used public transport every day in 2020
The Metro will operate throughout Thursday and Friday
E-scooters with swappable batteries will be deployed in JLT, Downtown, among other areas
