Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has held a series of awareness campaigns targeting public bus riders at Al Rashidiya and Al Ghubaiba stations. The campaigns aimed at creating awareness and educating the public bus riders at these two stations about uncivilised behaviour together with the proper ways of using and benefiting from these public transport meansl.
“About 6000 brochures were distributed (3000 per station) which included tips on good conduct while using buses and related facilities that would contribute to the convenience and happiness of riders,” said Mohammed Nabhan, Director of Transport Activities Monitoring, Public Transport Agency, RTA.
“The Transport Activities Monitoring Department had reported more than 37 thousand offenses in 2018 mainly related to the use of public transport means, facilities and services, or entry/exit of trips on board the buses without paying the prescribed fees. RTA considers public bus users as partners in safeguarding this vital mode which serves millions of people. Issuing fines to offenders is just a reminder to avoid recurrent offences towards realising RTA’s vision of Safe & Smooth Transport for All,” he concluded.
