Dubai Sets Up 15 Temporary Rest Areas For Delivery Bike Riders

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched 15 new air-conditioned temporary rest areas in the emirate for delivery bike riders. Key bus and metro stations across the emirate will host the rest areas. The UAE's outdoor work ban is currently in effect and will continue until September 15.

The rest areas will be available at metro station exits, including E& (Exit 1), Al Qusais (Exit 1 and 2), Emirates Towers (Exit 1), Insurance Market (Exit 2), Centrepoint (Exit 1), Al Furjan (Exit 1), Business Bay (Exit 2), DMCC (Exit 2), ADCB (Exit 2), and BurJuman (Exit 4). The facility is also available in bus stations, such as Gold Souq, Al Satwa, Al Jafiliya, and Oud Metha. According to the Dubai Media Office, the newly established rest areas are being supplied with 7,500 ready-made hot meals courtesy of the UAE Food Bank. Free meals are part of an initiative to acknowledge the daily service delivery riders provide to the community.
