📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
Construction of Bus and Taxi Lanes at Omar bin Al-Khattab Street.
Description:
The dedicated bus and taxi lanes is a successful global practice that encourages people to ride public transport rather than private vehicles. As seen in several metropolitan cities in America and Europe dedicated bus and taxi lanes reduce journey time, increase the compliance with the on-time bus departures, encourage public to use mass transport means, improve the taxi arrival time, and reduce the direct and indirect operational costs as well as pollutions. The project contributes to realising RTA’s strategic goal (Integrated Dubai), improving the living standards in the city, and enhancing the happiness of public transport riders. Widening the scope of dedicated bus lanes increases the average bus speed and reduces the travel time during peak hours by more than 40%.
