What Is Bus On Demand?

Introduced by Dubai’s Roads and Transportation Authority (RTA) in 2020, the Bus On Demand service allows residents to travel within specific community areas. It’s particularly beneficial for those who don’t have a nearby bus stop conveniently located near their destination.

   • Head to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and download the Dubai Bus On Demand app.
   • Install it on your smartphone.
2. Enter Your Information:
