On May 19, a new route will be launched from Jumeirah Golf Estates Metro Station. The metro link, called F38, will pass through several districts till Dubai Sports City.
It will start at 6am and will run until 12:30am (of the following day), at a frequency of 20 minutes.
Route 50 and Route N30 will be extended until International

It will extend Route 50 and Route N30 to reach the International City Bus Station, improve the frequency of merging Route D03 and D03A to be Route D03 only, and extend Route 367 to pass through the School of Research Science,” he added.
“The RTA is always keen to deliver excellent and highly efficient public transport solutions
to various members of the community. It also cooperates with government, semi-government entities and private companies to deliver safe and sustainable public transport solutions including public buses across Dubai. Requests received from various entities in the emirate are subjected to elaborate feasibility studies and extensive field surveys before the launch of the service,” concluded Shakeri.
