Commuters complain about bus stops in Dubai

Commuters are complaining about bus stops with no air-conditioning or broken air-conditioning, which makes traveling by RTA buses a nightmare in the heat.

An RTA spokesperson reacted to the commuters complaint saying: “Some of the shelters has limitation of access to infrastructure in which alternative source of energy are being studied to provide the level of comfort to all users. Definite solutions are studied to evaluate the best possible solution for enhancing the performance of the shelters using renewable power sources.”

The RTA added that bus stops lacking a roof or shade are also being addressed.

The spokesperson added: “As part of our strategic plan to provide a comfortable and convenient service to the residents of Dubai, we are currently installing shades in most of the heavy passenger generation points such as waiting platforms at bus stations which will be totally sun-protected during hot months.”
