22 Dubai Bus Stations Undergo Major Renovations

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has completed a wide-ranging redesign of 22 public bus facilities across the emirate, part of an ongoing infrastructure update to make public transport more efficient and easier to use. Six major depots and 16 stations - split between Deira and Bur Dubai - received structural upgrades, new waiting areas, and additional amenities like prayer rooms and cycle parking.

The redesigned stations now support 110 routes, accommodating up to 710 buses during peak times. Meanwhile, the six revamped depots - from Jebel Ali to Al Qusais - now feature upgraded workshops, enhanced lighting and newly structured parking to better handle daily operations. The enhancements also aim to smooth pedestrian and bicycle access, improve system flow and support multi-modal connections across the city.

This latest batch of upgrades follows earlier overhauls at major stops like Al Ghubaiba, Oud Metha and Terminal 3. The RTA also signed a contract to introduce 637 new buses through 2026, including 40 zero-emission electric models manufactured by Zhongtong and tailored for Gulf climates. Dubai’s commitment to a low-emission fleet using Euro 6 standards remains a regional first.
