The RTA is keen on maximising the happiness and satisfaction rating of all community segments including public transport users. It, therefore, seeks to provide top class transit means that are safe, convenient, reliable and fitted with the latest technological features ever used in the industry.
It is noteworthy that the ridership of RTA’s public transit means (metro, tram, buses and water transport means) is continuously on the up, thanks to the growing culture of using these modes amongst community members. It speaks volumes of the convenience and smooth mobility offered to public transport users moving to various destinations in and from the Emirate.
