A senior Bahraini official inspected several public transport projects across the Kingdom, including a future digital bus station expected to become a key milestone in the country’s transport modernisation drive.
Fatima Abdullah Al Daeen, Undersecretary for Land Transport and Post at the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, visited several initiatives implemented by the land transport sector to assess readiness and ensure progress aligns with operational and delivery timelines.
The tour included multiple public bus stations, most notably the Sitra station, which is being developed with support from stc Bahrain. Once completed, it is expected to become Bahrain’s first fully digital bus station, marking a significant step in the country’s public transport transformation strategy.
Officials say the project is part of wider efforts to advance Bahrain’s national transport strategy and strengthen digital transformation across mobility services, positioning the Kingdom as a regional leader in smart and sustainable transport systems.
During the visit, Al Daeen reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to enhancing public transport infrastructure and expanding partnerships with the private sector to accelerate the delivery of key projects.
She also highlighted ongoing work to develop an integrated public transport network that will connect bus services with a future metro system. This network aims to improve traffic flow, reduce carbon emissions, and increase access to employment, education, and essential services.
The initiative aligns with the Kingdom’s long-term development vision, including efforts to improve economic efficiency and support sustainable urban growth.
