Abu Dhabi has taken a significant step towards achieving sustainable public transportation with the launch of a new fleet of electric, hydrogen-powered buses as part of the Green Bus Programme by the Department of Municipalities and Transport. These eco-friendly buses will initially serve the route between Marina Mall and Shams Boutik Mall on Al Reem Island, with further expansion planned. The city's ambitious goal is to convert 20% of its public transportation to green, zero-emission vehicles by 2030, ultimately transitioning to 100% environment-friendly transportation by 2050. The fare system has also been revamped, with regular fares set at Dh2 per rider and additional charges per kilometre traveled. Affordable pass options include a one-week pass for Dh30, monthly pass for Dh95, and discounted or free passes for specific groups like students, seniors, people of determination, and children under 10. Emirati families enrolled in social support programs can avail weekly passes for Dh30 and monthly passes for Dh80. With these initiatives, Abu Dhabi is not only promoting eco-friendly transportation but also ensuring accessibility and affordability for its residents and visitors.
