Great news for residents of Damac Hills 2! The long wait for a reliable and affordable public transportation option is finally over. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has launched a brand new bus route, the DA2, specifically catering to this growing community.
Damac Hills 2: A Much-Needed Link to the City
Launched on July 1st, 2024, the DA2 bus route connects Damac Hills 2 with Dubai Studio City. This vital connection provides residents with a convenient and budget-friendly way to access various points of interest in the south of the city.
Prior to this, residents without a car had limited options. The community’s free shuttle bus was often overcrowded, especially during peak hours, forcing residents to rely on expensive taxis.
The DA2 route not only offers a more reliable alternative but also comes at an incredibly affordable price. Passengers can enjoy unlimited rides for a flat fare of just Dh5 per trip!
Planning Your Trip: Stops and Schedules
The DA2 bus operates daily between 5.47 am and 9.32 pm, ensuring residents have access to public transportation throughout the day. While the exact schedule hasn’t been released, we know buses will run every two hours. So, a little planning goes a long way in ensuring a smooth commute.
The route conveniently winds its way through various clusters within Damac Hills 2, picking up passengers at designated stops. The final stop at Dubai Studio City allows for easy connection to other buses that can take you to a Dubai Metro station, opening up a wider network of destinations within Dubai.
A Growing Community with a Bright Future
Damac Hills 2 is a thriving residential community with a population of around 30,000 people spread across a massive 55 million square feet. Property development continues to boom in the area, with projects like Park Greens Phase 2 and Elo3 adding even more residents.
The launch of the DA2 bus route is particularly timely considering the anticipated growth planned for Dubai’s southern region. With the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, expected to become the world’s largest capacity airport, the surrounding neighborhoods are set for significant development.
Improved public transportation infrastructure is a key aspect of this growth plan. The DA2 bus service is a positive first step, and with Dubai’s ambitious goal of doubling its Metro stations by 2040, we can expect even more connectivity between under-served areas like Damac Hills 2 and the heart of the city.
The arrival of the DA2 bus route signifies a significant improvement in the lives of Damac Hills 2 residents. This affordable and convenient public transport option empowers residents to explore the city, connect with job opportunities, and enjoy all that Dubai has to offer. So, ditch the car keys, embrace the new bus route, and discover the south side of Dubai!
