Sharjah will resume its intercity bus service at 50 per cent capacity from September 15, it was announced on Sunday. Jubail Bus Station will be reopened on the same day.
The station had been shut and intercity bus service suspended in April as a precautionary measure against the spread of Covid-19.
The service will be provided under strict health and safety measures to keep commuters safe, the Sharjah emergency, crisis and disaster management authority said.
