Dubai's Road and Transport Authority (RTA) has revealed plans to bolster the city's public transport system by acquiring 637 new buses at a total cost of Dhs1.1 billion. These buses, slated for delivery between 2025 and 2026, will include 40 electric models as part of the effort to modernize and enhance sustainability in public transportation. The announcement was made following the signing of four key agreements, with RTA expressing its commitment to supporting Dubai's sustainability objectives, including transitioning to a 100% electric and hydrogen-powered bus fleet by 2050. Moreover, RTA has partnered with the Chinese company BYD to conduct a trial operation of an electric bus integrated with cutting-edge technologies and battery systems. This trial will take place in Dubai, encompassing the challenging summer season, to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of electric buses in the city's climate. Alongside the bus fleet expansion, RTA has introduced a bus pooling service designed to offer commuters a more tailored and cost-effective transport solution. This service, operated by licensed and RTA-regulated providers, aims to streamline traffic flow and improve the overall commuting experience for residents and visitors in Dubai. With these initiatives, RTA is paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient public transportation network in the city.
