The Sharjah Intercity Transport Committee launched a new bus route from August 22 this year, which passes through such cities of the emirate as Al Dhaid, Al Maleha and Al Madaam.
"The new bus route No. 120 provides transport links between the three cities of the emirate and is one of the recent innovations, along with replenishment of the taxi fleet. All this is done in order to encourage the emirate to use public transport more often," said Adel Khalil Al Khosani, director of intercity Sharjah transport links.
According to Al Hosani, a few more new bus routes will soon be launched in the emirate, thanks to which passengers will be able to travel from the eastern region of the country to Sharjah and back with a stop in the city of Al Dhaid. The fare from Al Dhaid to Al Madaam is 15 dirhams (US $ 4.09), from Al Dhaid to Al Maleha - 10 dirhams (US $ 2.7).
Bus route number 120 includes 13 stops. The bus starts from the bus station in Al Dhaid and travels to Al Maleha, where it stops near Al Maleha Municipality, Al Maleha Mosque Mosque, Zulal Factory, Al Thamid Roundabout, and Madinat Restaurant.
The final stage of this bus route is in the city of Al Madaam. There he stops near the municipality (Al Madaam Municipality), Abu Dhabi Bank and, finally, in the commercial area of the city, where there are many shops.
The movement of the bus starts at 05.00 and ends at 23.00. During the day, 12 trips lasting 120 minutes are made along this route. On weekends, the number of flights will increase.
