Service alert in effect:

Standard 40-foot buses will temporarily serve FX2-Division stations out of an abundance of caution due to a fleet-wide mechanical issue. We are working with the manufacturer, Nova Bus, to address the issue and return the articulated buses to service as soon as possible.

Reducing our carbon emissions

Like all of our regular bus service, the new FX buses will run on renewable diesel, a cleaner-burning fuel we’re using to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

The move to renewable diesel is an important one while we transition to a zero-emissions bus fleet by 2040.

Looking to the future

We’re studying other possible FX routes along other major regional roads and highways — stay tuned for updates.

TriMet — How life moves

How Maidan almost started in Moscow because of a bus stop

Sunday, a week ago. I wake up calmly at 13:00, I go to make tea, think about the eternal and update my twitter. I don’t have a lot to do right now, so the days are pretty lazy. I brew, which means tea, and I think, but I’ll see if anyone called me. It is unlikely, of course, that on Sunday morning someone will call me, but you never know.
And then bah! 30 missed calls! Here you have allies from the department of transport, and various district and district activists, and deputies …

Well, I think that’s it, Putin is dead, apparently. I go to Twitter to look, no, it’s like, alive. And in general somehow suspiciously nothing happens, the usual lazy Sunday morning. Then the phone rings again.

— Katz?
Well Katz.
— Aaaaa guard fucking kill help!
— What is it?
— Stop! Bus! 500 meters! Disabled people, pensioners, children, help!
I don’t understand anything. What are the disabled, what happened?

The following happened. In the Shchukino area, since 1943, there was a bus circle on Aviatsionnaya Street. He was there all his life, I remember how my grandfather and I went there to look at the gateway on bus number 100, at 1990th. Well, it was there before

The size of this circle has not changed since at least 2003 (the oldest image of this place from Google satellite that we managed to find). Buses have been there all their lives.

Somewhere in the year 2008, something bad started to happen: the area was densely built up with skyscrapers, from Scarlet Sails to social housing, but parking was not provided. And then the cars began to gradually bite off pieces near the bus circle.
Somewhere around 2010, they bit off the whole thing, the buses began to turn around in a very intricate trajectory in reverse

The circle looked something like this. The entire parking lot to the fence of the house is a bus circle. Come on, turn around

It is clear that this is a dangerous story — you can’t move in reverse at the crossroads at all. But all this somehow calmly existed for at least 4 years. Drivers complained, complaints were put aside somewhere in a box, nothing happened.

But then technological progress hit, and surveillance cameras were hung all over Moscow. Moscow bosses sometimes like to look at these cameras very much, displaying the image on the TV in their office during lunch (or during working hours, I don’t know the details here).

So, on Thursday, November 13, Evgeny Fedorovich Mikhailov, director of Mosgortrans, decided to see how the buses go to Shchukino. Evgeny Fedorovich did not like what he saw, he called an assistant to him.

— I command, says Yevgeny Fyodorovich, that tomorrow immediately stop the movement there! So that no more buses would drive there for a single minute!
— How is it so zhezh? And tell the government? Passengers?
— I SAID TOMORROW!

Well, tomorrow is tomorrow. November 14, Friday, after 71 years of operation, the stop «station Shchukino» ceased to exist.

Needless to say, the residents were not very happy with the situation. A whole microdistrict was left without access to transport within a radius of 500-900 meters, local grandmothers threatened to block the road, arrange a Maidan and storm something to take.

Such is the situation. I am writing to the Deptrans press service, I say, they will eat you now, what are you doing? This situation is completely under the jurisdiction of Deptrans — you are doing the evacuation, you are placing signs, you are driving the buses. You can’t film a stop because someone is parking nearby, parking should be banned!

No interest, however, was shown. These are all evil tongues, they tell me in the press service, they are fanning a scandal. But in fact, nothing can be done, Mikhailov personally looked at the cameras!

Grandmothers, meanwhile, are constantly hanging out at the bus stop, calling me, other deputies and carrying heaps of complaints to all possible authorities. Social tension is brewing.

I decided that this is exactly the moment for which Liksutov once gave me his personal email and phone number. I used it twice in two years (and sent 200 official letters), here I wrote on the third. Wrote and went to bed.

I wake up on Monday, again 20 missed. Journalists are calling for comments, deputies, Deptrans and the prefecture are calling for a meeting urgently convened on this issue on Tuesday at 15:00. The meeting was going to be held right at the place where the stop was cancelled.
Well, I gave comments, warned those who announced that the commission could be lynched on the spot, and, of course, agreed to come.

I come to the commission on Tuesday, already from afar you can see something was wrong — there is a crowd of people, probably 100. Among the crowd stands a tall, elderly deputy head of the traffic service of Mosgortrans, there are traffic police officers, a confused dude from Mosparking, TsODD, the government and the prefecture. Members of the commission, scattered in the crowd, which clusters in groups of 20 people around someone from the commission.

— We demand immediate return
— So that’s why we…
— Why are you here! return the bus and everything!
— So I’m telling you, we…
— Don’t talk, do it! Bring back the buses!

After some time, a bus was brought to the scene, in which we were to confer. Let’s go, people are behind us. I stand at the door.
— Let’s confer, I say, otherwise how can we find a solution if everyone is shouting
— We don’t know anything! what are you going to confer in secret? Mikhalyyych! Right now, they want to decide everything behind closed doors!!
— Go out and confer on the street, in front of everyone!

Several active and heavy women taxi into the bus, approach the awesome commission

— Well, cho! we are the people! we demand that the bus go.

The commission tried to sit. The general atmosphere of nervousness was transmitted to the arriving officials

— How are we going to put a sign on you here?! we can’t sign!
— But we can’t evacuate, there’s no sign!
— No, well, do you see what’s going on? the bus needs to run
— We will not agree on anything, there is no sign and there is no team and there is no place!
— And we are the people and we demand that it be!

I go up to the guy from Mosgortrans, he seems to be the oldest

— Let’s go to the municipality, sit down at the table and sit quietly. In this mode, we will not come up with anything good

All those present quickly agreed. I called the municipality, where the leader quickly vacated the meeting room, transferring some kind of commission that was going on there. The residents all got off the bus and continued to protest, we arrived at the municipality. Russell.

When everyone calmed down, it turned out that very adequate people, focused on results, arrived from all departments. And indeed from everyone — from the prefecture, and from the council, and from Mosgortrans, and from Deptrans, and from the TsODD, and from the traffic police. Most of them are young, all of them are competent and all, in general, are aimed at finding a solution.
This is a rarity. At meetings, there are usually either no representatives needed to make decisions by organizations, or some bureaucrat is sent who answers everything that this is impossible, because GOST or something else does not allow.

I don’t know how it got together here, maybe because Liksutov personally asked to sort it out, but the beginning inspired optimism. We started talking.

— It is necessary to restore traffic, you all saw what is happening
— Yes, there is only 400 meters to the metro!
— Stop stop stop — both deputies present at the commission immediately jumped up all day after such words and began to explain that it was 400 meters to the metro, but from the microdistrict to the stop another 500, it turns out already 900, and this is a lot.
— Well, ok, but you can’t run it as it is.
— You need to come up with a temporary scheme, and then design a permanent one.

For about an hour and a half, the traffic police and the traffic police spoke in their own language of SNiPs, signs and all sorts of rules, Mosgortrans sometimes intervened in their conversation, adding something about the turning radius, and the Prefecture, reporting the availability of some kind of thing like a water-filling block to separate movement.

After an hour and a half, all those present at the meeting were suddenly satisfied, the discussions subsided, and everyone was about to disperse. This moment was completely unremarkable, the next round of reasoning about the water-filled block and the STOP road sign ended, but nothing new began.

Friends, wait. I say. — Once you have agreed, then let’s write a protocol, otherwise something is not clear to me
— Yes, you did not understand. Here the GOST SNiP sign is the norm designing the bus, the radius of the turn, the U-turn is not possible, the accident is a cake, who will be responsible for the order, then we will write Liksutov for six months and three days.
— What-what?
— Well, what’s up? SNiP, norm, GOST, radius, Liksutov will give an order to do it, but we can’t, but if the designers are then ok, otherwise the traffic police will not give permission.
— Didn’t understand anything.
— Well, GOST SNiP …
— Wait a minute. Let’s take a paper, write «PROTOCOL» on top of it, and then what did you decide here. If you can’t, then you can’t, then write like that. If it is possible, please, point by point, who will do what and when.

The discussion flared up again and continued for another 40 minutes, interrupted by periodic stops

— GOST SNiP order Liksutov
— PROTOCOL
bububububu
— If Liksutov order, then GOST SNiP, otherwise …
— LOG
bububububu

After about three rounds of such a conversation, some magical moment occurred: almost everyone present took out cell phones and began to call them. Apparently, everyone had a picture in their heads of what can be done and how, and everyone began to sell

— Hello, do you have water-filled blocks? How not? Only concrete? (Prefecture)
— Concrete is not allowed (traffic police)
— Poles are allowed! (TsODD)
— Are there bars? There are stands!
— That’s it, you put the posts, we are the signs, here is the diagram, everything is fine. Write a protocol.

After two and a half hours of discussion, a two-point protocol was issued:

Make a temporary traffic scheme by removing ~25 parking spaces and installing “no stopping” and “no entry” signs on the bus circle,

Next year design and make this circuit permanent.

Three days have passed and everyone agreed on this scheme. On Saturday, work began and ended on Saturday to organize a normal turning circle

It is now impossible to park here, tow trucks will work from Monday

In general, it was like this

It has become like this. The buses left already on Sunday, November 23rd. 9 days after cancellation.

22 parking spaces have been canceled, the necessary bus stop has been made. For a week, a significant and noticeable improvement in the infrastructure for public transport, through the efforts of a meeting of one commission, where adequate people came who wanted to solve the problem.

It is terrible to think how Moscow could have been improved if such commissions were assembled not only because of the danger of the Maidan.

What I want to say about this story. Selfish decision-making is bad, it was possible to make this U-turn quite calmly and without social tension without removing the movement.
However, no other authority in Russia, after being completely stupid, would have behaved like this. The error was corrected in a week and without the slightest hint of stubbornness and insistence that this is how everything should have been. In no other case would a deputy be able to write a personal mail to the vice-mayor, and the problem would turn out this way.

So this story had both pluses and minuses. Collect more such commissions to solve other transport problems in the area, and not only in the area …

Transport in Dubai: bus, tram, metro, monorail

If you are going to the UAE, please resolve this issue first. The city is not suitable for walking, so transport will have to be used in any case.

Levik levik.blog

talks about the plight of pedestrians in the UAE’s largest city:

Pedestrians in Dubai are such second-rate people that they often do not have separate entrances to different establishments. For example, to enter The Dubai Mall from the street, I had to go down to a multi-storey car park. The entrance for pedestrians is on the elevator, along with the drivers who have just parked their cars. If you search well, you can find areas designed for pedestrians. But this is a kind of corrals. You need to come to them by car in order to walk around the space allotted for this.

Public transport

Some say that Dubai has the most developed transport system in the world, others are convinced that there is simply nothing to do here without a car. Let’s see how things really are.

Metro

Dubai Metro is technologically advanced. There are no drivers: the movement is fully automated.

Metro consists of 2 lines: red and green. The red one runs through the entire emirate, the green one outlines a small semicircle in the Old City area.

Dubai Metro Map

Dubai Metro opening hours: trains run from 05. 00 to 00.00, Thursday and Friday until 01.00. On Friday, traffic starts at 10.00.

Photographer and traveler Dmitry Chistoprudov tells why a passenger can be fined in the subway:

Eating and drinking is prohibited on the Dubai Metro, both on trains and at stations. It is also forbidden to sleep, smoke, transport animals, bicycles and alcoholic beverages!

Fine for sleeping — 300 AED, for smoking — 200 AED, for food, drinks, chewing gum — 100 AED. If you pressed the emergency stop button just like that, pay 2000 AED.

There are 3 types of carriages in the Dubai Metro: «silver», women’s and «gold».

Any person can ride in the «silver car» for a standard fee.

Only women and boys under 12 years old are allowed in the women’s carriage. The man must be fined. Special plates and pink warning signs will help you to recognize such a car.

Only those who have paid the Gold fare can use the «Gold» luxury carriage. Anyone can do this by simply paying double the fare.

Artem Chechkenev blog Russian Adventurist

debunks popular myths about the «golden» cars:

Many who have been to Dubai write in their notes that in order to ride in the driver’s seat, you need to buy a Gold Class ticket. That’s bullshit. Gold Class is one carriage, depending on where you are going, it is either the first or the last. And at all stations there is a pointer to this car‎.

You can take the metro to the stations near which are the main attractions of Dubai: Burj Khalifa, Zoo, Dolphinarium, Mushrif Park.

Buses and trams

Since the metro can take you to all the interesting places in the city and is much faster, buses and trams are not popular with locals and tourists. Nevertheless, these modes of transport are not inferior in terms of comfort. Dubai buses and trams are equipped with air conditioning, interactive maps and comfortable seats.

Buses carry passengers from 05. 00 to 00.00. Wave your hand to stop the driver. If you want to get off at the bus stop, press the STOP button on the handrail.

Trams run from 06.00 to 01.00 daily. On Fridays, traffic starts at 09.00. The cars in the tram are divided into 3 compartments: common for everyone, only for women and children, «golden».

There are no conductors on buses and trams, but it’s not worth going for free: there are a lot of controllers in Dubai, and they work in good faith.

Tram and bus stops are usually close to the metro.

Andrey Kushnerov, the author of the illustrated blog, admires their convenience:

Air-conditioned bus stops in Dubai. Inside the stop is cool and an excellent map of bus routes on the entire wall. Despite the fact that the Arabs themselves do not ride buses, everything is done “for the people”. I even saw a couple of “ghostly” stops, without buses. The air conditioners worked there.

You can take the tram to Jumeirah and Barasti beaches, as well as to the Dubai Marina mall.

Timetables and routes

The timetable and traffic patterns of public transport in Dubai can be viewed on the website of the Dubai Road Transport Authority or through the special S’hail application (you can download it in the AppStore and GooglePlay). Before the trip, be sure to check on the website or in the application if there are any new stops or entire metro lines. In Dubai, this happens with enviable regularity.

Travel cards for public transport

There are no traditional bus or metro tickets in Dubai that the passenger buys on every journey. But there are very convenient NOL travel cards.

These are contactless cards for paying fares in all types of public transport. You can buy and replenish them at the box office at metro stops, RTA offices, vending machines. Online replenishment is also available.

The author of LiveJournal vv1 advises how to use slot machines correctly so as not to lose money:

When replenishing the balance, you should carefully follow the messages, because until the confirmation of the transaction is displayed, it is better not to touch the card. Of the minuses, the card lies freely in the card reader and now it may simply not deposit the amount (it happened to my father)‎.

Dubai is divided into 7 geographical areas. The more zones you cross, the more expensive the trip will cost. If you pass one or two zones, but the distance is less than 3 km, the price is calculated according to the T1 tariff, two adjacent zones — T2, 3 or more zones — T3. Within 30 minutes, you can make one free transfer.

Do not forget to put the card to the card reader after trip, otherwise the maximum possible amount will be deducted from it.

Red, Silver and Gold NOL cards are available to non-residents of the UAE.

NOL Red is the most popular pass among tourists. Replenish it immediately after purchase. The card can make no more than 10 trips and pay up to 5 “unlimited”‎, and after 90 days from the date of purchase, it becomes inactive.
The card costs 2 AED.

A trip in ordinary comfort metro and tram cars will cost you 4, 6 and 8.5 AED at T1, T2 and T3 fares respectively. «Unlimited» for 1 day costs 20 AED.

For a trip in the «gold» class, 8, 12, 17 AED will be charged from the card, respectively. The price of «unlimited» for 1 day is 40 AED.

NOL Silver can be topped up any number of times within 5 years. You buy it for 25 AED and 19 AED is immediately credited to your account. The fares T1, T2 and T3 will cost 3, 5 and 7.5 AED respectively.

For lovers of comfort, NOL Gold is ideal. It allows you to ride in the «golden» subway and tram cars. A trip with a Gold card will cost 6, 10 and 5 AED at T1, T2 and T3 fares respectively.

Buses do not provide class division, so the cost of the trip is debited at NOL Silver rates.

Ksenia and Andrey blog «Inostranno.ru»

remind that it is better to replenish cards in advance:

Do not expect to pay cash directly to the driver when traveling on public transport in Dubai, they will not be accepted.

Individual transport

Taxi

Almost all taxi services in Dubai are state-owned, prices are controlled by the authorities.

The cost of the trip depends on the time of day:

from 06.00 to 22.00 you will pay 5 AED for landing and 1.8 AED/km, and 1 minute of waiting will cost 1 AED.

from 22.00 to 06.00 to take a taxi costs 5.5 AED, drive 1 km — 1.8 AED, idle will also cost 1 AED per minute.

The minimum cost of the trip is 12 AED at any time of the day.

Blogger Kirill Gurbanov claims that using a Dubai taxi is completely safe:

Taxis travel all over the cities/emirates and are easily caught right on the road. Rides are metered: no hidden fares, nothing like that. All taxi drivers, albeit minimally, but know English.

Those who want to feel like a VIP can choose a business class taxi, also called Limousine Taxi . Mostly these are Lexus or Audi cars. Most often, drivers wait for customers near expensive hotels and restaurants. A trip in a premium taxi will cost about 30% more than a regular one.

Another Dubai curiosity is women’s taxi , which is forbidden for men to ride. All the drivers in it are women, and you can recognize him by the pink color of the body.

Tariffs are the same as in a regular taxi.

Car rental

Car rental price starts from 120 AED per day.

Alexey Zimin blog alexzimin

tells what you need to rent a car in Dubai:

To rent a car in the UAE, you must have an international driver’s license (gray booklet) and a personalized credit card with the name and surname of the tenant raised on the front of the card. The driver must be at least 21 years old and have at least one year of driving experience.

Transfer

If you don’t want to look for ticket machines and wait for transport at the bus stop, book a private transfer in Dubai. It will be especially convenient for those who:

Does not know foreign languages. To use the transfer service, it is enough to greet and thank the driver.

Travels with small children and lots of luggage. A driver with a sign will meet you at the airport and help carry your bags to the car.

In a hurry. The car arrives at the specified time, and an experienced driver will choose the shortest route.

Car rental with driver

If you plan to visit several places along the way, it is best to rent a car with a driver. This saves you the hassle of finding parking and planning your route.

Rent a car with driver

Special transport

Monorail

The Dubai Monorail connects the man-made Palm Jumeirah with the mainland. The length of the monorail is 5.45 km.

The author of LJ pelato tells which route the monorail passes:

The monorail starts at the very base of Palm Island at Palm Gateway Station. The station has free on-site parking for 1,600 cars and is connected to the Palm Jumeirah Tram Station by a pedestrian walkway. The monorail ends already on the island at the Atlantis Resort station next to the famous hotel of the same name.

The train runs from 09.00 to 21.45 every 15 minutes. A one-way ticket costs 20 AED, a return ticket costs 30 AED. Payment is only possible in cash. You can buy a ticket in the machine or at the box office right before the trip.

River tram

The tram is part of the public transport system, you can pay for travel using NOL cards.

Waterbus runs in the two bays of Dubai:

Dubai Creek from 07.00 to 22.00;

Dubai Marina (Dubai Marina) from 10.00 to 22.00.

Don’t let the sight of a «floating hut» scare you: inside the river trams are air-conditioned. Don’t worry about safety: you will receive life jackets upon boarding.

Dubai Transport Hubs

There are several intercity bus terminals in Dubai.
