Intercity buses from Abu Dhabi will resume from tomorrow, December 31, authorities have announced.

According to the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), "intercity public bus services will resume between cities in the Emirate from December 31 with a modified schedule"

Services that will be resumed are: X90 between Abu Dhabi and Al Ain Cities, and services: X60, X62, X86, X87 and X88 between Al Dhafra Region and Abu Dhabi City.

These services will be resumed as two trips at least in each direction, 25 per cent of the previous intercity services of Al Dhafra Region and 50 per cent of the previous intercity services in Al Ain City because of the high demand.

This is part of the first phase of gradually resuming all public bus services back to their normal schedules before the Covid-19 pandemic. Public demand will be monitored in order to increase public bus services accordingly in the future with ensuring the compliance with the preventive measures to preserve the safety of public transport users.

For the safety of the public, ITC regularly sterilises public buses, reduced buses capacity to 50 per cent, applied physical distancing, obligated drivers and passengers to wear face masks in buses and bus stops and installed thermal cameras at the entrance gates. ITC also advises all passengers to follow the preventive procedures to maintain the safety of all.
