Al Quoz to get cycle tracks, bus route linking Metro

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has revealed a comprehensive plan to develop the transport infrastructure in Dubai’s Al Quoz area, including bicycle and electric scooter tracks, and a bus route linking Dubai Metro.

The plan was announced by Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), after he was appointed the Vice-Chairman of a new committee to oversee the development of the Al Quoz Creative Zone, which was announced recently.

Al Tayer said the project will create a vibrant hub for artistic, creative and cultural activities in Al Quoz and make it a tourist destination. “RTA will support the Al Quoz Creative Zone with a package of projects and initiatives, including a comprehensive transportation infrastructure in Al Quoz area linked to the Al Safa Metro Station; shared tracks for pedestrians, bicycles, and electric scooters; a creatively-designed bridge for pedestrians, bicycles and scooters on Al Manara Street; and a bus route connecting Al Safa Metro Station to tourist and artistic attractions in the area,” Al Tayer said.

“In addition, RTA will establish transportation centres featuring a variety of transit modes to serve the commuting needs of residents and visitors.”
