Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive of Dubai Road and Transport Authority (RTA), honoured Noor Khan, a bus driver at the Public Transport Agency, RTA, for his honesty and loyalty.

The driver found a bag left on the bus after his tour of duty, and it was revealed that it contained Dhs250,000.

The employee took immediate action by communicating with the Buses Supervisor, who in turn received the bag and took action towards returning the bag to its legitimate owner.

“We pride ourselves on having employees with such great disciplines and fidelity at the RTA. This bus driver took the proper action by handing over the bag to the Buses Supervisor. This attitude fully reflects the confidence in the loyalty and honesty of the employees of our public transit means that commute hundreds of thousands of riders every day. This behaviour boosts the public confidence when using public transport means in Dubai,” noted Al Tayer.
