Special Bus service to Global Village to start January 15

"This special bus service to and from Global Village will provide buses every 15 minutes", said Abdul Aziz Malik, Director of Public Transport Department.

He said that the buses will operate from 4pm to 12am on weekdays and up to 1am on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and public holidays.
"Connecting people from different parts of the Emirate the buses will terminate outside the Global Village main entrance at bus stops designated for this service", said Malik.

He also mentioned that this year's buses will operate five routes during the festival period.

The Global Village bus service, which was run on three routes last year, was immensely popular. Over 8,000 passengers used it daily aggregating to a staggering figure of over 250,000 passengers. ýThis year the service is likely to muster a larger support as more areas are covered.

Exciting prizes will be offered to all the winners of different competitions held at the stall.
