Our impact

Public transport has a significant role to play in reducing climate change globally. It is estimated that high occupancy buses produce approximately 80% less carbon monoxide per passenger mile as single occupant cars. They also produce much less hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, and other pollutants. We are committed to providing a public bus system that is used by people from all walks of life, that encourages drivers to refrain from using their cars, and ultimately helps to reduce traffic congestion and all forms of pollution in Makkah City.
