The locations of these bus shelters have been selected very carefully. And they have been selected to address the need of densely populated vital areas as revealed by His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer. He is the Director General, and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority.
In fact, the new design also complies with the Dubai Code for People of Determination. It includes designated spaces for people who use wheelchairs and thereby is a part of the ‘My Community… A City for Everyone’ initiative. And in case you weren’t aware, this initiative was launched by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He is the Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai.
