Dubai is gearing up to ring in 2025 with seamless transport services, and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is making sure no one misses out on the action. Whether you’re heading to a countdown party, visiting family, or cruising through the city to soak in the fireworks, RTA’s got your back. With free parking, overnight metro rides, and special ferry and abra schedules, getting around the city during New Year’s celebrations has never been easier.
Starting January 1, 2025, public transport will be running like a well-oiled machine to keep the city moving and spirits high. Metro enthusiasts, rejoice! Trains will run overnight, ensuring you don’t have to worry about missing the last ride home. From Downtown Dubai to Palm Jumeirah, every hotspot will be within reach. The tram will also operate at extended hours, making late-night strolls along JBR or Dubai Marina even more convenient.
For those taking to the water, marine transport is stepping up with special abra and ferry services. Imagine gliding across Dubai Creek or cruising along the Marina while enjoying the glittering skyline – now that’s a New Year’s vibe! The extended ferry services will offer a picturesque alternative for party-goers and sightseers alike.
And if you’re driving around, here’s the cherry on top – free parking! From commercial areas to residential neighborhoods, parking will be free across Dubai, making it easier to navigate the city without the stress of finding a spot or worrying about the meter.
Service centers will also adjust their schedules to align with the holiday spirit, but essential transport services will remain operational to keep the city running smoothly.
This carefully crafted plan ensures that everyone can celebrate without hiccups. Whether you’re relying on the metro, tram, marine rides, or your car, the RTA has created a stress-free, festive experience for all.
So, gear up for 2025 – Dubai’s streets, skies, and waterways are ready to carry you into the New Year in style. Let the celebrations (and free rides) begin!
