They will be installed at air-conditioned and upgraded bus stops, as well as bus stations, ensuring clear and convenient access to information for passengers.
The project forms part of the authority’s ongoing efforts to advance digital transformation, enhance the quality of public transport services, and provide a more convenient, efficient, and sustainable mobility experience for public transport users across Sharjah.
In June this year, the SRTA announced updates to an intercity bus route to Oman, as demand grows among UAE residents who flock to the neighbouring country.
Route number 203 which runs from Sharjah's Al Jubail bus station to Oman's Sohar then to the capital, Muscat will now run on three daily trips to accomodate travellers and tourists. There will be two daily bus services from Sohar to Sharjah and one from Muscat to Sharjah.
