Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has unveiled a plan to install 762 public bus shelters at key locations across the emirate.

The ambitious project aims to enhance public transportation infrastructure. The RTA is also considering the use of 3D printing technology for constructing some shelters.

This innovative approach is currently being tested in collaboration with a company. The goal is to have all the shelters completed by the year 2025.

Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA, said that “the bus shelters are part of the authority’s efforts to improve public transport services and improve customer satisfaction.”

He also added that “The design of the new shelters is compatible with the Dubai Code for People of Determination, including wheelchair-accessible areas,”

2. Secondary stop: Serves 250 to 750 passengers daily
3. Primary stop: Serves 100 to 250 passengers daily
4. Pick-up/drop-off station: Used by up to 100 passengers daily.
