RTA rolls out next-gen electric bus
Earlier this week, the RTA also launched the pilot operation of its next-generation electric bus, a major step toward achieving a zero-emission public transport system by 2050.

The state-of-the-art bus is currently serving Route F13, a vital metro feeder line linking Al Quoz Bus Depot with key destinations like Burj Khalifa, The Palace Downtown Hotel, Dubai Fountain, and the Dubai Mall Metro Bus Stop (South).

The initiative is part of RTA’s broader strategy to integrate smart, sustainable mobility solutions across Dubai’s transport network.
