In an initiative unprecedented across the Middle East and North Africa, 6700 Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has teamed up with 1691 Google to upload Dubai public bus stop information on the digital space of Google Earth. The move will enable public bus users in the Emirate of Dubai visiting the Google Earth portal to check this information at any time and from any place.

According to RTA’s Mohammed Abu Baker Al Hashemi, providing access to public bus stops information through Google Earth will enable users to view the information, including the routes passing through these stops. They can also return to the RTA portal to obtain more information about the bus routes by checking the link to the RTA website displayed on Google Earth and from there to the Journey Planner (Wojhati).
