Dubai buses may be privatised

Transport chiefs are considering privatising Dubai’s public bus system.

Mohammed al Hashimi, the director of the planning and business development department at the Roads and Transport Authority’s (RTA) public transport agency, said privatising the bus network was under review.

Mr al Hashimi said the RTA wanted to get the public transport system correct before any decisions were made. The main objective of the RTA according to Mr al Hashimi was first to provide a service for the city.
