893 AC Bus Shelters Installed Across Dubai Ahead of Summer Heat

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the full rollout of 893 air-conditioned bus shelters across 622 locations throughout the city, offering commuters comfort during the summer months.

Designed with accessibility and smart mobility in mind, the new shelters are equipped with digital display screens showing real-time bus arrival and departure times. They also comply with the Dubai Universal Design Code, featuring spaces for wheelchair users and directional signage for the city’s bus network.

To ensure consistent performance, the RTA carried out extensive morning and evening field visits ahead of launch. The shelters are subject to routine cleaning and sanitization in line with public health guidelines, and are now being monitored by dedicated patrols.

Residents are encouraged to provide feedback through the 'Madinati' service on the RTA Dubai app, helping ensure service quality and responsiveness.

The project is part of a broader RTA strategy to modernize Dubai’s public transport infrastructure and promote sustainable, commuter-friendly mobility year-round.
