Milestone highlights Abu Dhabi’s transition toward low-emission public transport.
As part of its ongoing efforts to advance a sustainable mobility ecosystem in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport, announced that its green bus fleet has surpassed 1.3 million environmentally friendly kilometres since its launch in 2024.
Crossing the one-million-kilometre mark reflects the accelerating shift toward a low-emission public transport system and reinforces the adoption of clean technologies within the transport sector. The fleet includes buses powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology and electric energy.
In this context, Dr. Abdullah Hamad Al Ghafli, Acting Director General of the Integrated Transport Centre, stated:
“Exceeding one million eco-friendly kilometres marks a significant milestone that reflects Abu Dhabi’s commitment to accelerating the shift toward sustainable transport. This achievement is not merely a number; it is a testament to the success of investing in clean technologies and their ability to deliver practical solutions that enhance operational efficiency, improve the user experience, and support the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 vision,” said Dr. Abdullah Hamad Al Ghafli.
As part of broader sustainability efforts, the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) launched the “Public Transport to Work” initiative for its employees during celebrations of World Public Transport Day, organised by the International Association of Public Transport (UITP). This year marks the inaugural edition of the event, with participation from cities and transport authorities worldwide showcasing their efforts to develop and enhance sustainable transport systems.
The initiative encourages employees to use public transport for their daily commutes, including public bus services, reflecting the Integrated Transport Centre’s integrated transport offerings. It aims to help reduce traffic congestion, lower carbon emissions, and promote more sustainable mobility habits.
