The Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), announced converting Bus Service No 65 into an eco-friendly service, operated entirely by green buses.
The green buses will be powered by advanced technologies such as hydrogen and electric energy.
The operation of Bus Service No 65 using only green buses serves one of the busiest routes on Abu Dhabi Island.
The route connects Marina Mall to Al Reem Island, accommodating approximately 6,000 passengers daily and covering more than 2,000 km per day, highlighting the importance of providing environmentally friendly transport solutions to serve this large number of passengers.
The initiative is in line with the city’s commitment to environmental sustainability and its leadership in sustainable transport.
The transition is part of Abu Dhabi Mobility’s ambitious strategic plan to transform the island of the emirate into a Public Transport Green Zone by the Year 2030.
Abu Dhabi Mobility aims to achieve an ambitious goal of decarbonisation by converting 50 per cent of the city’s public transport to green alternatives, aimed to result in a reduction of 200 tonnes of carbon daily – equivalent to removing 14,700 cars off the roads, it said.
The company said it continues its sustainability efforts by expanding the use of green buses to include other routes, such as Route 160, which connects Capital Park with Khalifa City, and Route A2, which links Abu Dhabi City to Zayed International Airport.
These routes are part of an innovative transport strategy aimed at enhancing the public transport experience in the city.
