Dubai: Haven't got a clue how to reach the award-winning Dubai Miracle Garden?
Fret not. Now, RTA’s Public Transport Agency has launched a new express bus route — Route 105 — that will take you straight to this man-made wonder in no time from the Mall of the Emirates (MoE), which is accessible via Dubai Metro from the airport and various points around Dubai.
The bus fare to Dubai Miracle Garden: Dh5 (about $1.40).
The new service is aimed at tourists and will be another boost for the public transport network in keeping with the growing demand for various modes of mass transit in general and public buses in particular.
Adel Mohammad Shakri, Director of Business Development, RTA’s Public Transport Agency, said: “The new service, which is named Route 105, starts at Mall of the Emirates Station at the Shaikh Zayed Road and travels non-stop to the Miracle Garden at the Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road, and back to the starting point the same way. This service is popular amongst regulars, tourists, and visitors.”
Since the route was launched, it has served about 14,000 riders at a fare of Dh5, he said.
“RTA is keen on broadening and improving the public bus network in order to enhance integration with other mass transit means like the Metro, and marine transport modes such as the water bus and the water taxis,” he added.
