The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has deployed six electric-powered abras for Global Village visitors, which was opened for visitors early last month.
RTA is keen on offering the service that proved quite popular over the past eight years.
“RTA is always seeks to provide the abra service with the start of the Global Village events in November each year, especially as the ridership of abras had clocked 134,738 riders in the last season of the Global Village,” said Mansour Al Falasi, Director of Marine Transport, RTA Public Transport Agency.
“This figure is indicative of the substantial contribution of abras in supporting the tourist activities in the Global Village, which span several months each year. The service is part of our vision to generate an added positive experience to this recurrent annual event as evidenced by the huge numbers of people including residents and visitors.” More info
