Should school bus operators in the UAE be subsidised to reduce costs for parents and cut traffic congestion?

Experts argue yes, highlighting that the number of students using buses has jumped to 40,000 with Dubai Taxi Company alone, which means fewer cars on the road, lower emissions, and safer travel for children. Road safety experts note that every large bus can take up to 40 cars off school routes, while studies show students on buses are happier compared to those using private cars. With advanced safety features and even eco-friendly buses being introduced, subsidies could make this option more affordable for families. Do you think the government should step in with subsidies to support parents and the environment, or should families continue to shoulder the full cost of school transport?
