Abu Dhabi sees rise in public bus commuters

More people seem to be using public bus services in Abu Dhabi than ever before.

Over 74 million trips were logged last year, which is a 13 per cent increase compared to 2018.

The growth was mainly driven by the launch of 16 new routes as well as improved connectivity with other emirates.

Free Wi-Fi services were also rolled out inside the buses and at the main stations.

The Integrated Transport Centre also installed 30 air-conditioned bus shelters as part of a wider plan to have 260 of them.

A total of 546 buses currently operate in the emirate, covering a network of more than 7,000 km.
