Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has unveiled a transportation plan to serve visitors of Expo 2020 from around the UAE.

Seventy dedicated buses will be deployed to run 193 daily trips during weekdays, and 213 trips on Thursday and Friday. 

The RTA has identified nine locations in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah for these bus services.

"As part of its master operational plan for transporting Expo 2020 visitors, RTA has dedicated a full fleet of public buses compatible with the low carbon emission standards of Euro 6 buses, which will be making their debut in the MENA region," said Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA.

"Each bus has a low-floor entry to make it easily accessible to people of determination. Buses are designed to deliver premium services to mass transit riders thanks to the high-class finishing works, roomy seats, dedicated seats for children, WiFi service, USB charging ports and an array of smart systems," added Al Tayer.
