Experts advise coping strategies like acknowledging emotions, seeking support from family, and finding meaningful ways to help
According to a directive issued by the STC Director-General, Abdullah M. Al Zari, those interested in operating the “Sharjah City Network” in Sharjah, have been asked to submit their pre-qualification applications for the Public Transport (PT) network franchise. STC is the sole government authority regulating and controlling all public transport activities in Sharjah.
“The pre-qualification criteria aims at selecting the most viable operator with technical and financial experience and capabilities to build up and operate a modern public transport bus service in Sharjah,” says the directive. It also specifies that those who pre-qualify will be shortlisted, and selected operators will then be requested to submit official proposals in accordance with the relevant STC “Request for Proposal” (RFP) which includes the terms and conditions determining the contractual rights and obligations of the parties. Sharjah Transport plans to start its mass public transport network system by the last quarter of this year.
Speaking to Khaleej Times earlier, Al Zari had said that a technical study relating to the proposed public transport system was undertaken by expert consultants from Singapore and discussed during a workshop on UITP (International Association of Public Transport). According to experts from UITP, STC sought advice from operations experts to help them make strategic decisions in connection with the construction of a new public transport network from scratch.
