Dubai commuters can now enjoy seamless internet access while waiting for their ride, as the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has fully activated free Wi-Fi across all 43 bus and marine transport stations in the city.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, June 17, as part of RTA’s broader push to improve the commuter experience through digital transformation. The new service, rolled out in partnership with telecom provider e&, allows passengers to connect via their smartphones, tablets, or laptops while on the move.
“This initiative is part of [our] ongoing efforts to accelerate digital transformation across all our services,” the RTA said in a statement.
To ensure reliability, RTA confirmed that the connectivity service will continue to be monitored and improved over time to meet the needs of daily commuters.
The free Wi-Fi rollout complements RTA’s earlier launch of its “360 Services Policy” in March, which aims to shift services to digital platforms like the Dubai Now app, minimizing the need for in-person visits and making public transport smarter and more convenient for all.
