A new bus service is set to connect Jebel Ali Metro Station and the Bluewaters Island.

Route no. F57, which will be rolled out on June 20, will operate at a frequency of 30 minutes during peak times.

On the same date, the schedule and timings of 15 existing bus routes will also be modified by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

It seeks to improve the service by adjusting bus schedules and pick-up times and launching new routes in response to a growing demand for the service," said Adel Shakeri, Director of Planning & Business Development at the RTA's Public Transport Agency.
