SRTA has again taken a big step towards green transportation in the emirate.

The new bunch of environment friendly electric buses in the Sharjah transport fleet will make a huge difference providing high-tech transport to people who use public transport to reach their offices, businesses and marketplaces (“Sharjah launches 10 environment friendly electric buses,” Jan.21, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) announced the launch of 10 electric buses, to operate within the SRTA’s transport fleet. Engineer Yousef Khamis Al Othmani, Chairman of the SRTA, revealed that the addition of the new buses aims to strengthen the authority’s mass transportation fleet, which reflects the importance of relying on environmentally friendly means of transportation.

The great initiative taken by the Sharjah government to launch 10 environment friendly electric buses is the best way to contribute in tackling climate change challenges as well. It’s so important to implement all measures to make the environment clean.

I am sure after the launching of 10 electronic buses in Sharjah Transport that the other Emirates states will launch environment friendly transportation as well.
