Dubai: Dubai launches ladies only buses

Dubai is to launch a new bus line comprising 7 ladies-only buses.

“This step is intended to meet the increasing demand among ladies for public bus services. Public Transport Agency therefore decided to inaugurate this Line following site surveys and studies to identify the areas with the highest demand for exclusive ladies buses” said Mohammed Abu Baker Al Hashimi, Director of Planning & Business Development at RTA Public Transport Agency.

He added that “Public Transport Agency is keen on providing top-class services to bus commuters, including ladies. We hope that this step will play an active role in providing added privacy to ladies mobility on board RTA buses, thereby encouraging more others to take-up the service” added Al Hashimi.
