dubai — If you are planning to visit Dubai Parks and Resorts, here’s good news for you.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is launching a new bus service from Tuesday, named Route DPR1, to facilitate visitors of Dubai Parks and Resorts, one of the key tourist and entertainm­ent destinatio­ns in the emirate.

The buses will start from Ibn Battuta Metro Station (2) to Dubai Parks and Resorts and vice versa. They will pass through several spots such as the Food Corner of Ibn Battuta Mall, The Gardens Junction at Jebel Ali, and culminate at the Dubai Parks and Resorts.

The launch of the new bus service is aimed at catering to the needs of public transport riders and responding to the growing economic and tourist movement witnessed by Dubai and the UAE.

The authority has carried out modificati­ons to other operative routes in Dubai, namely F19A from Gulf Square to Capital Golden Tower through the Business Bay Metro Station southward.

Changes also covered Route C14 from Safa and Nahda (1) Station to Sama Hotel Apartments; Route F32 from Mall of the Emirates Metro Station to the Sustainabl­e City, an RTA press release pointed out.

The change included the sequence of bus stops in Routes 7, 88, and F12 where the stops of the Iranian Hospital have been abolished. Changes in Routes 8, 85, N55, F43, and F42 covered the abolishing of Ibn Battuta Station (Chinese Corner) stop for security and safety considerat­ions.
