The urban landscapes of the Middle East are undergoing a profound transformation, characterized by burgeoning populations and relentless urbanization, resulting in megacities grappling with congestion and traffic challenges. In this evolving scenario, city buses are emerging as unexpected heroes, offering a promising solution to alleviate gridlock and ensure sustainable mobility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt. Each country is navigating its unique set of challenges and opportunities, exemplified by ambitious initiatives and innovative trends shaping the future of urban transportation.

A notable transformation is underway across the Middle East's bustling urban centers as a growing number of commuters are opting for buses over private cars, propelled by a surge in fuel prices. Over the past five years, the escalating costs of gasoline and diesel in Egypt, KSA, and Saudi Arabia have made private car ownership financially burdensome for a significant segment of the population. This shift is evident in Egypt, where a substantial increase in the percentage of households unable to afford a car has been noted. Faced with this economic pressure, an increasing number of individuals are turning to public transport as a more economical and accessible alternative.

This trend is most evident in the surge in demand for bus services in these countries. Cairo's public bus network has experienced a remarkable 25% increase in ridership since 2018, prompting the Greater Cairo Public Transport Authority to expand its fleet and introduce new routes. Similarly, in KSA, both the Public Transport Development Company and the Public Transport Authority have reported significant upticks in bus ridership, leading to substantial investments in fleet modernization, infrastructure enhancement, and the introduction of innovative solutions such as smart ticketing systems and mobile app-based tracking.
