The Public Transport Agency at Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority reduced its water consumption by 8 per cent last year, according to a report published to mark World Water Day.
A number of initiatives helped to lower consumption, said Dr Yousef Mohammed Al Ali, chief executive of the agency.
“Most bus depots have stations for recycling and treating water used in washing buses, and the recycling ratio of these waters has reached 80 per cent and is expected to hit 90 per cent by the end of 2015, following the launch of the Recycling of Public Bus Washing Water Station at Al Qusais Depot,” he said.
