In an effort to provide easy access to public transport to everyone, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Dubai has now signed a contract with Arcab to introduce a smart app for medium sized buses in Dubai on a 3-month trial basis. This initiative has been taken to cater to the public demand of medium-sized bus services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s find out more about the new digital platform for medium sized buses in Dubai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RTA APP FOR MID-SIZED BUSES <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The contract between RTA Dubai<\/a> and Arcab for an app for mid-sized buses was made in partnership with the Dubai Future Accelerators Programme,  one of the Dubai Future Foundation initiatives. This initiative was taken in 2016 by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council. The goal was to introduce new projects based on the latest technology in the Emirate to improvise important sectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contract for the RTA app for mid-sized buses was driven by the idea of developing an advanced digital platform that can facilitate daily or frequent commuters in Dubai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RTA app for medium-sized buses in Dubai will be functional in two districts during the trial period. One route will travel between International City\/ Dubai Silicon Oasis<\/a> and Jebel Ali Free Zone<\/a>. While the other will commute between International City<\/a> and Jumeirah Lake Towers<\/a> (JLT). After the completion of a 3-month trial period, the service will be operational for 12 more districts in the Emirate. In this way, people will be able to travel to different destinations within the city easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT DOES THE CONTRACT STATE FOR RTA DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR MEDIUM-SIZED BUSES IN DUBAI? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the contract for the RTA app for mid-sized bus services, Arcab will integrate technology that would be essential for micro-mobility network management. This will help save operational costs. Moreover, by opening new routes for medium-sized buses in Dubai, the digital will further yield a demand for micro-mobility networks. With this initiative, a new segment of passengers will be attracted. Also, the digital platform is highly flexible as it allows changes in journeys and mobility to meet varying demand patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of the RTA digital platform for medium sized buses in Dubai will cater to commuters in districts and areas where public Dubai buses <\/a>are not accessible. Besides, it will strengthen RTA\u2019s public-private bond in the long run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the digital platform for medium-sized buses in Dubai, RTA and Arcab plan to launch Arcab Traveler service in the UAE. This service will also be in collaboration with Dubai Future Accelerators Programme. This service will facilitate daily commuters to and from work as well as home. The Arcab Traveler service is an addition to the existing RTA e-hailing, Bus-on-Demand service in Dubai<\/a>, shared transport and smart services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RTA app for mid-sized buses in Dubai is one of the steps toward the success of the Dubai Future Accelerators programme. The RTA and Arcab\u2019s partnership will enable many relevant entities to adapt to new practices and deploy avant-garde technology to deliver the best services to the public across the Emirate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
