Lack of shade is a situation that can be seen at many bus stops in Al Ain.
I travel on the bus on my way to and from work and in the morning, I am forced to stand outside while I wait, as there is no shelter nearby.
When I wait for the bus to go home in the evening, there is a small bus shelter, but the men at the stop take up all the room inside, leaving the women out in the heat as there is nowhere else for them to go.
During the summer, it is very hot, and being forced to wait outside is very dangerous as people can suffer from sunburn, dehydration or even heat stroke.
I request the authorities to build bigger shelters with plenty of seats at every stop, so that everyone can get out of the heat.
