School bus fee hikes too high, RTA says
- United Arab Emirates: Monday, June 08 - 2009 at 10:30
The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has told schools and transport companies that they cannot use the new bus regulations as a justification for increasing their transport fees, reported Gulf News. Most schools in Dubai have announced a transport fee hike from 60 to 100% with effect from September, citing higher costs associated with meeting new school bus regulations set up by the RTA. Eisa Abdul Rahman Al Dossary, CEO of the RTA's Public Transport Agency, said the amount needed to upgrade a school bus to meet the requirements of the new rules ranges from Dhs8,000 to Dhs15,000, and he said it would be reasonable if the fee increase per pupil were in the range of Dhs250 to Dhs500 maximum and for one time only.
