Bus commuters in Dubai can now plan their journey virtually with the click of a mouse, thanks to a new portal launched by the Road Transport Authority (RTA).
The bilingual website, www.rta.ae, has a link called “journey planner” which gives information such as what bus to take from the BurJuman centre to Dubai Country Club, its frequency and the fare.
Nearly 230,000 commuters take the bus daily and presently there are more than 60 bus routes covering Dubai. Later this year residents will be able to go online to pay traffic fines or obtain various Dubai Municipality services, said an RTA official. (Gulf News)

Website offers a bird’s eye view of Dubai
posted on 04/01/2007
The map (http://www.dubai-online.com/maps/) has been developed using the Google Maps application and allows visitors to view detailed satellite images of hotels, shopping malls, attractions, real estate projects and more.
The map is fully interactive and links to other areas of the site, including hotel reviews and user-submitted videos. Owner David Mottershead says, ‘We think our readers will find this new feature extremely useful. Readers can now get a bird’s eye view of their hotel or take a look at the layout of one of the city’s golf courses. The maps are extremely detailed. You can even zoom in and see the helicopter pad at the Burj Al Arab.’
Dubai Online offers free listings and advertising to tourist attractions, hotels, activity providers, events and any businesses that would interest visitors. A section of the site also deals with employment in the region. Expatriate organizations and recruitment consultants are also offered free space on the site. (AMEInfo.com)
