Abu Dhabi Converts Bus Service No.65 Into Green Service

Abu Dhabi Mobility has converted Bus Service No 65 into an eco-friendly service, operated entirely by green buses powered by advanced technologies such as hydrogen and electric energy. The initiative is part of a strategic plan to transform the emirate into a Public Transport Green Zone by year 2030.

The operation of Bus Service No 65 using only green buses serves one of the busiest routes. It connects Marina Mall to Al Reem Island, accommodating nearly 6,000 passengers daily and covering more than 2,000 km per day. Abu Dhabi Mobility is also expanding the use of green buses to include other routes, such as Route 160, which connects Capital Park with Khalifa City, and Route A2, which links Abu Dhabi City to Zayed International Airport.

The shift to green buses reduces greenhouse gas emissions and operational energy consumption significantly. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi aims to achieve a goal of decarbonisation by converting 50% of the city's public transport to green alternatives. This initiative is expected to result in a reduction of 200 tonnes of carbon daily, equivalent to removing 14,700 cars off the roads.
