there seems to be a serious lack of common sense and public planning in this city. but then i have to remember that this is still a young country going thru growing pains and learning curves.

i can only hope the whole Dubai Metro thing won’t be a disaster as well once it gets up and going.

sandy, did you ever figure out why your bus was ladies only? it seems really weird… and the whole no-standing rule seems really odd for public transport.

OMG, that is terrible. Again, what poor planning…(shakes head)…how are ppl supposed to move away from personal cars if the public transport system can’t handle capacity.

Since I am quite familiar with the X25 bus, I will answer.

Actually, one driver said that standing inside the X25 bus is not allowed and they will be fined when caught by RTA. There are RTA’s in random stations who get on the bus, check with the driver, check the tickets of the passengers (never lose your ticket!) and see how full the bus is.

It is ok to stand on some buses but not on th X25 or C1 and C2 (the new sleek buses).
