Emirates Transport (ET) received the “Grow with Public Transport” award for the MENA Region during The International Association of Public Transport (UITP) conference held in Geneva, Switzerland.

The federal transport corporation received the award for its dual trip student transport system, which allows the use of the same bus to transport both male and female students in the same school district, but in two separate trips.

The system, which requires a high degree of organization and coordination and takes advantage of the hour difference in school start time for male and female students, won praise for its considerable economic and environmental benefits.
