Planning a trip to Dubai Parks and Resorts? Well, getting there has just gotten easier! The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a new bus route that goes straight to one of the most popular tourist attractions and entertainment destinations in the country.
Starting today, 17th April 2018, visitors can take Bus Route DPR1 to Dubai Parks and Resorts. As the name suggests, the destination includes not only one, but several parks, each with its own theme: Motiongate Theme Park, Bollywood Parks, Legoland Dubai, and Legoland Water Park.

New Bus Route to Dubai Parks Starting April 17th
Bus Route DPR1 will travel from Ibn Battuta Metro Station (2) to Dubai Parks and Resorts, and vice versa. Along the way, it will pass through a number of stops (i.e. Food Corner at Ibn Battuta Mall and The Gardens Junction at Jebel Ali) before reaching Dubai Parks.
The new bus route offers a quick and accessible means of public transport to the famous destination. Indeed, it addresses the rising demand for such service — not just in Dubai, but across the UAE.
