Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has opened a Mini Bus Depot, right next to the Etisalat Metro Station on the Green Line.
The mini-bus depot will be home to buses on routes F07 and 367.
The F07 bus route travels from the Etisalat Metro Station to the labour accommodation at Al Qusais with the 367 bus route going from Etisalat Metro Station to the High Bay of Dubai Silicon Oasis.
The buses were previously sent to bus depots in Al Awir, Al Khawaneej and Al Ruwayah.
The operational efficiency of the two routes will increase as dead kilometres will be saved as the buses do not need to travel to the previous depots.
Additionally, improvements to the bus routes have been made by the RTA including the addition of two metro feeder routes namely, F19A and F19B during off-peak times from 10am to 4pm, running every 30 minutes.
Timings of bus routes F24, F07, F18 and F22 have been improved with more buses being added in the morning as the Green Line metro station starts at 5am heading towards Creek Metro Station.
