The second change coming into effect today is the suspension of the Marina loop trips on Dubai Tram. The semi-circular loop service covered four stations – Jumeirah Beach Residence 1, Jumeirah Beach Residence 2, Jumeirah Lake Towers and Dubai Marina Mall. A study by the RTA found that abolishing this service would decrease the total transit time from 54 minutes to 45 minutes, and would improve the frequency of the service to 8 minutes. The number of riders using the service was only 6% of total commuters on the network. The Dubai Tram timetable has also been revised, with the service now terminating at 1am, instead of 1.30 am.
