The Roads and Transport Authority is considering offering “fun rides” on different public transit means to certain community segments such as children, senior citizens and people with special needs to acquaint them with these modes of transport.

As part of this initiative, 15 senior citizens from the Elderly House and 16 children from Al Khulood Nursery in Dubai were taken on separate Metro rides by the Rail Agency.

Mohammed Al Mudharreb, Director of Rail Operations, RTA Rail Agency, said the RTA is keen on organising such rides in order to familiarise these segments of the society with the benefits of the Metro.
