As part of its strive to keep up with the latest technology advancements, and implementing them to boost services offered to Dubai residents, the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has equipped its modern fleet of buses with a range of new technologies that ensure passenger comfort and enhance the experience of using public transportation.
In addition to being clean and of high quality, the new buses boast a modern air-conditioning system that eliminates unpleasant odors; something that has always bothered commuters. The buses are also equipped with an electronic destination display system, and are fitted with screens and personal reading lights.
Taking into consideration the comfort of women, children and elders; RTA has provided special seats for these people. It has also provided a low-floor and a dedicated entrance and seating area to serve the requirements of people with special needs.
Air-conditioned bus shelters, spread across the city, were fitted with maps to show bus tracks, and lights that flash to indicate passengers waiting for the bus. RTA is also offering a unified payment system using prepaid cards (NOL), which can be used on its bus, metro, water bus systems, and paying the parking fees.
