Abu Dhabi is operating a 24/7 bus service to Dubai for the delegates of the ongoing COP28
08 Dec 2023
NewsAbu Dhabi is now running a round-the-clock bus service to Dubai serving the participants of the current COP28. Nine buses in an all-electric fleet transport people from Abu Dhabi International Airport's Terminal A to Expo City Dubai, the site of COP28, on 44 daily trips. Under its Green Bus plan, the Department of Municipalities and Transport, Abu Dhabi's Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) has started the effort.
These electric bus operations contribute to a daily reduction of 3.7 tonnes of carbon emissions by travelling 520 kilometres. After COP28 concludes on December 12, the buses will be included into Abu Dhabi's fleet of public transport vehicles. The fleet, after being fully integrated, is anticipated to travel 3,150 km per day and help save over 900 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. It just takes two hours to fully charge an electric bus.
The programme represents a "pivotal step" in favour of Abu Dhabi's environmental preservation efforts and in lowering the environmental effect of public transportation. It is a part of the emirate's dedication to supporting environmentally friendly transport and offering services that successfully satisfy the demands of both locals and visitors.
