Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed the rollout of free Wi-Fi service at 17 public bus stations and 12 marine transport stations in collaboration with e& (formerly Etisalat). This service is part of RTA's effort to improve the experience for commuters. Now, passengers can stay connected while traveling, using their smartphones, tablets, and laptops on the move.

Khaled Abdulrahman Al Awadhi, Director of Transportation Systems at RTA’s Public Transport Agency, shared more details about the project. He explained that the Wi-Fi devices have been installed at 29 stations so far. RTA is working quickly to extend the service to all 43 stations, which include 21 bus stations and 22 marine transport stations. The final installations are expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2025.

This is also in line with Dubai's aim to become the smartest and happiest city in the world.
