Razzaz noted that the buses have modern specifications and a high level of efficiency, including services for people with disabilities.
The new buses belong to Al Mutakamilah Company, which has been known to receive complaints from passengers about the state of their old busses, and who hope for further development to resolve the bad traffic situation.
