Absolutely ridiculous.Waste of resource .If anything the buses should have been alocated to construction workers or people with disabilities When are we ever going to intergrate.Women are looking for equal rights not special ones.

Juliette, I truly understand. The X25 is good if you can get on it but it really is a gamble trying for the 8A. It's worse from the Knowledge Village than Media City, sometimes even Friday evenings, when it's less busy.

At least with that route you can get on! You think that's bad. Try the C1 from Satwa to the Airport. I've had countless "discussions" with bus drivers over this one (my pet hate bus route), to be told that it's not their problem. I don't see why it should be our problem if we're the ones paying for the service. Don't you agree?

Thank Allah! Seriously, the number of times I've been told I cannot board the bus in Dubai is absolutely ridiculous. What is even more absurd are the number of men standing, "clogging up" the space adjacent to the ladies section - so that they can look at them - when there are seats/standing room towards the back and the bus driver thinks the bus is full. Even more infuriating are men who sit in the ladies section when there are empty seats elsewhere. Can you tell I don't have a car?!

I get wound up over the transport here and I'm a covered lady (who doesn't like waiting for the next bus in the sun) who is not using the transport to get to work. So imagine how much more difficult it is for people travelling to/from work? How is that supposed to increase public saftey (ladies being stranded at night) and efficiency in the workplace (ladies not being able to get to work when they live so far away)?

This is one of the best initiatives of the RTA yet, supposing that these are extra buses and not replacement buses.

Nice effort but has any woman at the RTA ever tried catching the bus from Media City into Bur Dubai? 12 seats reserved for ladies, hence the buses all go by without stopping so an hour and a half wait to be crammed 3 per seat or stand for an hour and a half if you're lucky. Lovely way to end the work day!
