This step comes in coordination with the Department of Planning and Business Development at the Public Transport Agency.

This initiative covers all marine transport such as Dubai Ferry, abras, water taxis, and water buses.

Their operating times are altered according to the nature of each season and the movement of residents during every season.

Nabil Yousef Al Ali, Director of Marine Transport, Public Transport Agency, RTA, said: "The seasonal operational network of marine transport services is marked by enterprise agility, accuracy and compatibility with the nature of the operating seasons according to well-rehearsed plans set by RTA in this field based on international best practices."

Al Ali added that “RTA's shift to the summer mode is leveraged by big data that encapsulates all information relevant to marine transport services. This includes ridership, revenue, and operational rates that enrich service improvement studies and significantly contribute to improving network efficiency."
