RTA announces New Year's Eve public transport timings to and from Expo 2020 site

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Expo 2020 Dubai have updated the timings of public transport services to and from the site on New Year’s Eve.

This is to ensure visitors have a fantastic experience ‘Celebrating with the World @ Expo’.

The Metro service on both the Red and Green lines will operate from 8:00 a.m. on December 31, 2021, until 2:15 a.m. on January 2, 2022.

The Expo Rider service to Expo will run until 6:30 a.m. on January 1, 2022, with the following exceptions: Dubai Mall route will be suspended from 2:00 p.m. due to the closure of roads around Burj Khalifa; AlBraha, AlGubaibah and DXB T3 routes will follow a diversion to avoid the E11 road closures.

All inbound intercity routes will be suspended at 8:00 p.m. on December 31, 2021.

All inbound Dubai routes will also be suspended at 10:00 p.m. on December 31, 2021, while all outbound trips will be suspended from 9:00. p.m. to midnight.

To get ahead of the large demand for Expo Rider services, passengers will be asked to state their preferred return journey time when they arrive and receive a token with this time.

Tokens will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.

Car parks and the Parking Shuttle will run until 6:30 a.m. on January 1, 2022. If the demand for Parking Shuttle services exceeds supply, visitors may be required to walk back to their vehicles.

Meanwhile, the People Mover service will run until 6:30 a.m. on January 1, 2022.
