Traffic congestion in busy parts of the Capital could ease under a proposed smart shared transport system discussed by the Services and Public Utilities Committee.
The proposal, reviewed during a meeting chaired by Eng. Mohammed Tawfiq Al Abbas and attended by senior board members and Ministry of Transportation officials, centres on a digital platform allowing commuters to share daily journeys with others heading in the same direction.
Officials said the system is designed to improve transport efficiency while reducing the number of vehicles on the road, particularly during peak hours.
The initiative is also expected to lower emissions, improve air quality, and reduce commuting costs, while encouraging the use of more sustainable and technology-driven transport solutions.
Representatives from the Ministry of Transportation, including legal advisor Dr Farid Al Rajo and senior officials from the land transport and licensing departments, took part in discussions on the proposal and its potential rollout.
