Abu Dhabi plans to have 550 air-conditioned bus shelters across the emirate by 2011, transport officials have said.

The first 20 air-conditioned shelters in Abu Dhabi were opened on Wednesday, with a further 80 to be delivered by the end of September, the Abu Dhabi Department of Transport (DoT) said.

The move is part of public transport plans to encourage people to use their cars less, helping to cut road traffic congestion.
