Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the opening of a new model bus station at Oud Metha.
The new bus station will feature an integrated service for the metro and taxis along with car parks, bike racks, office spaces, customer service areas, trading outlets and self-service kiosks.
The station is located near the Oud Metha Metro Station, schools, community clubs and business centres.
The station will comprise a ground floor, three additional floors and rooftop parking.
The station will link key places and areas in the city such as Dubai Mall, Al Qusais, Burjuman, Dubai Museum, International City, Wafi City, Al Seef, Business Bay, Al Nahda, Al Safa and Al Satwa.
His Excellency Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority said, “The construction of stations for public bus riders complements the efforts of RTA to upgrade public transport infrastructure and encourage people to use public transit means in their daily movement. The new station boasts of a state-of-the-art design that caters to the needs of sustainability and people of determination, yet coherent with the identity and shape of RTA’s stations. The role of the new stations goes beyond the prevailing concept of commuting passengers to encompass the offering of integrated services to passengers such as car parks, bike racks and the integration with the metro and taxi services.”
