Dubai is well on track to achieving its target of getting 30% of commuters to use public transport by 2030. That’s according to the latest stats from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), which is marking its 10th anniversary today as well as the annual Public Transport Day. The RTA’s flagship projects over the last ten years include Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram, a growing bus and taxi fleet as well as a variety of marine transit modes. A comprehensive network of roads, interchanges, walkways and cycling paths have also helped ease commuting within the city.
