Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the return of its dedicated public transport services to Global Village, aligning with the opening of the attraction’s 30th season, which runs from October 15, 2025, to May 10, 2026.
Global Village bus routes
Four direct bus routes will connect major areas of Dubai to Global Village, with schedules designed to support easy access for visitors. The RTA confirmed that the services will operate daily using premium buses to ensure comfort and safety.
The routes are as follows:
Route 102: Al Rashidiya Bus Station – Global Village (every 60 minutes)
Route 103: Union Bus Station – Global Village (every 40 minutes)
Route 104: Al Ghubaiba Bus Station – Global Village (every 60 minutes)
Route 106: Mall of the Emirates Bus Station – Global Village (every 60 minutes)
The RTA stated that the buses will offer a “pleasant travel experience to and from Global Village” with high standards of safety and comfort.
Alongside the bus routes, RTA is also resuming its electric tourist abra service within Global Village. Two electric abras will operate during the season, offering visitors short leisure cruises along the internal waterways of the destination.
According to the RTA, these transport services aim to improve accessibility and support Dubai’s tourism sector by offering integrated and sustainable mobility options.
“These initiatives reaffirm RTA’s commitment to providing integrated, safe, and sustainable transport services that support Dubai’s tourism sector and enrich the overall experience for Global Village visitors, whether individuals or families,” said the authority in a statement.
