Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has recently announced that it has added at least 100 eco-friendly buses to the city’s public transport services, which will use lesser fuel and emit less carbon emissions.
Ninety-four buses made by British bus company ‘Optate’ were added in the bus circulation, Saturday.
The new buses are lightweight and consume low fuel.
“The delivery of the new batch of buses is part of the RTA’s master plan to improve public transport in Dubai and keep pace with the top international standards,” the RTA said in a statement.
The bus can accommodate up to 32 passengers with areas designated for persons with disabilities (PWD).
The new buses will be deployed to 17 bus routes.
“The new buses will be deployed on 17 routes: 8 existing routes and 9 new routes highlighted by metro link buses routes, low-demand routes, and routes serving residential areas which do not require the operation of large buses,” the RTA said on Twitter.
