This is aimed to encourage parents to switch from private vehicles to school buses and trust their safety.

Mansour Rahma Al Falasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Corporation, said.

The buses have cameras, sensors to ensure no student is left behind, an emergency button to communicate with the control centre, a GPS, a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) system, and an engine self-extinguishing system. These features have been selected to conform to the highest global safety standards.

DTC has taken extensive precautionary measures to ensure the safety of students such as sanitising school buses before and after the boarding of students and limiting the usable seats to 50% of the bus capacity,

Al Falasi, added.

Parents can track the movement of the bus to easily know the pick-up and drop-off points and pay online through a dedicated portal. And of course the drivers and attendants are well-trained and have qualifications in handling emergency cases and First Aid from the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services.
