The Public Transport Agency of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), will launch on Monday, September 1, a new Dubai Ferry line from Marina Mall to Al Ghubaiba Station, and vice-versa, in an effort to enhance the tourist marine transport sector in Dubai.

Hussain Khansaheb, Director of Marine Transport, Public Transport Agency, announced that the first services on the new line would be offered at 1pm and 6.30 pm.

"The RTA is always keen on providing safe, smooth and advanced mass transit services to keep abreast of the multitude events and bustling activities held by the emirate of Dubai including tourist marine transport modes such as the Water Taxi and Dubai Ferry, and customising such services to suit various events in order to offer enjoyable, smooth and safe water transport services," said Khansaheb.
