“This vital sector has witnessed steady growth over the past six years. Accordingly, to meet the growing demand for this type of transport, we have increased the number of companies from 123 in the first half of last year to 244 in the first half of this year,” Adel Shakri, Director of Planning and Business Development at the Public Transport Agency at RTA, said.
