Dubai have also anounced 518 buses....other than what ever buses that are run by Dubai RTA. While Mowasalat runs only 264 buses as public service while 1,231 run by Ministry of Education.

Transport chiefs in Dubai on Monday announced a deal to buy 518 buses to serve passengers travelling on the Dubai Metro.

The AED1.9bn deal will also include an eight-year maintenance contract for the vehicles which will ferry metro customers to and from stations in the emirate. A senior RTA official said that the buses would cover all the stations.

A lot of work has already started....on it.....but it will take time around 10yrs at least.

One thing is sure they cant let it be run by a Private Co. as it will end up like Karwa.

Dubai Metro is a good example, they have kept the prices low.

Also they will also have to open Rail Garage where the coaches will undergo maintenance , servicing & cleaning/wahsing.
