BUS TRAVEL REDEFINED IN DUBAI: The launch of a swanky bus station at Oud Metha by the Road Transport Authority yesterday has set a new precedent for bus travel in Dubai. The station, which has a multi-level parking for 350 vehicles and can handle 10,000 passengers per day, is integrated with the Dubai Metro and taxi services as it is located just 300 metres from the Metro station. The transport authority has outdone itself in designing this state-of-the-art facility, which boasts of a plush waiting area, convenient retail outlets, office spaces and more. Kudos to RTA.
