The new service relies on a fleet of modern electric buses, designed to provide a more comfortable and efficient transportation experience.

The fleet includes four different models of electric buses, including articulated buses consisting of two and three compartments, which allows for accommodating a larger number of passengers, reducing waiting time, and achieving smooth movement.

Three articulated electric buses have been operated on Zayed the First Street, each 30 metres long, with 44 seats, and a capacity of up to 200 passengers per bus.

In addition, an articulated electric 18-metre long bus has been operated, with 46 seats and a capacity of around IIO passengers.
