The new buses are part of a campaign to commission luxury passenger vehicles equipped with devices for recharging mobile phones, as well as more spacious seats, extra luggage, high-quality air conditioners, with the capacity to accommodate up to 45 passengers. In the first half of 2015, 4.5 million passengers were transported in the Sharjah-Dubai direction, compared with the five million transported in 2013, which indicates a continuous increase in passenger flow and therefore the need to increase vehicles.
The Sharjah Road and Transport Authority is currently in talks to increase the number of bus stops. The usual bus fare, depending on the distance, varies from 5 to 30 dirhams (US $ 1.3 - 8.2). The price of a ticket for a luxury bus will remain within the specified standards, without any increase.
