City bus routes 57 and 69 get schedule overhaul to ease rush-hour delays
Bus passengers in the city will soon see improved service on two key routes. The Center for Road Traffic Management (CRTM) has announced timetable changes for routes No. 57 and No. 69, starting May 12. The update follows complaints about long waits and uneven scheduling during peak hours. The adjustments aim to fix a long-standing issue with inconsistent bus arrivals. Passengers had reported large gaps between services, forcing extended wait times. CRTM officials confirmed the changes were made in direct response to these concerns.
The main focus is on synchronising morning rush-hour trips from Monday to Friday. Under the new plan, departures on both routes will be staggered more evenly. This should reduce overcrowding and shorten delays for commuters. CRTM expects the revised schedule to improve efficiency across both lines. The changes will take effect from the first service on May 12, with updated timetables available online and at bus stops.
The new timetable will roll out next month, with clearer spacing between buses during busy mornings. Commuters on routes No. 57 and No. 69 can check the updated schedules ahead of the May 12 start date. The adjustments are designed to cut down on waiting times and streamline weekday travel.
