The popular bus route was a lifeline for hundreds of workers who were dependent on it for their daily commutation between office and home. However, much to their chagrin, the route was cancelled following the launch of Dubai Metro in September 2009.

While a series of fuel price increases recently — two in the past three months — have left people wondering, a senior Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) official has said the action will not have any impact on the fares charged by Dubai’s public transport
facilities. Fuel prices shot up by 20 fils earlier this month, following a similar increase in April, impacting normal life.

Acting upon the feedback of its customers and studies by its planning team, RTA has wrung in comprehensive changes to its feeder services just as it is doing with its standard bus networks. The feeder buses which transport people to and from Dubai Metro stations across the city have been the key component behind the success of the metro as it is a free service for train passengers.
