The comprehensive plan targets all maritime transport services operated by RTA, including the Dubai Ferry, Abra, and Dubai Water Taxi. The adjustments in operational timing are designed to reflect seasonal changes and cater to the movement of residents, tourists, and visitors throughout the year. The schedules will be regularly updated in collaboration with the Business Development and Planning Department at the Public Transport Agency to ensure alignment with passenger needs.

This seasonal network is characterized by its corporate agility, efficient operations, and adaptability to varying operational plans. The focus on accurate timetables is in line with best practices in the global maritime transport industry. By leveraging big data, RTA can access vital information about marine transport services, such as passenger numbers, revenue figures, and detailed occupancy rates. This data plays a crucial role in enriching service development studies and enhancing network efficiency.

The integration of big data analytics allows RTA to maintain flexibility in preparing and implementing the seasonal network for maritime transport. The operational methodology incorporates predictive analysis to evaluate and understand network data, enabling the authority to forecast the impacts of changes in operating schedules and journey frequencies on passenger numbers, occupancy rates, and overall revenues.

Developing the initiative involved creating internal algorithms and processing data from multiple sources to establish a flexible operating plan tailored to the marine transport network. This proactive approach ensures that future operations align with customer needs while also predicting potential passenger trends in the sector.

RTA's initiative not only aims to enhance service sustainability and meet customer demands but also focuses on improving the occupancy rate of maritime transport. Additionally, by optimizing operations, the authority seeks to reduce overall operational expenses, making the transport system more efficient and responsive to the community it serves.
