The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed the first phase of upgrades at five key marine transport stations in Dubai Marina, enhancing the city’s commitment to modern, efficient, and culturally inspired public transit. The revamped stations—Marina Promenade, Marina Terrace, Marina Walk, Marina Mall, and Marina Mall 1—now feature full air-conditioning and state-of-the-art facilities designed to improve passenger comfort and service quality. Architecturally, the upgrades draw inspiration from traditional wooden ferries, blending Dubai’s rich maritime heritage with contemporary design elements to create a unique commuting experience.
These enhancements are part of RTA’s broader strategy to modernize marine transport infrastructure and promote sustainable mobility across the emirate. By integrating cultural aesthetics with advanced amenities, the upgraded stations aim to attract more residents and tourists to utilize water-based transit options, thereby reducing road congestion and supporting Dubai’s vision for a connected, eco-friendly transportation network. The initiative underscores the city’s dedication to preserving its historical identity while embracing innovation in public services.
