A Cool Ride
These air-conditioned bus stops make us want to take public transportation in Dubai! These cool oases in the scorching desert heat make public transportation more comfortable, with their glass-enclosed shelters providing a respite from summer temperatures that can soar above 110°F.
Introduced in 2006 by the Roads and Transport Authority, AC bus stops feature climate control, seating, and real-time bus arrival information. They are essential for ensuring commuter comfort and encouraging the use of public transit in extreme weather. With over 800 such shelters, Dubai sets a new standard for public amenities in hot climates, blending functionality with modern infrastructure.
