I fully agree and we made your point at several media interviews. Ideally, and in the public interest, school bus transportation should be subsidized by the authorities to get as many private (less utilized / occupied) vehicles off the road, especially during the traffic peak hours.

A better utilization of school buses would help school bus operators to improve their operational costs and to lower their fees. RTA earlier published figures, that in Dubai only 13% of students are transported in school buses, and that these buses are only occupied to 53%. This shows the tremendous potential!

Drive safely and kind regards,
