The service will be monitored and refined in collaboration with e& to ensure optimal performance and coverage. The two entities also plan to explore the possibility of expanding similar services to marine transport systems in the near future, offering passengers a consistently connected journey across different modes of public transit. As Dubai continues to invest in digital infrastructure, such initiatives further strengthen the city's position as a forward-thinking hub for innovation and sustainable urban living.
