Sharjah commuters left in a transportation dilemma

There are not enough pedestrian crossings and bus stops in Sharjah. There are a number of malls, but there is no pedestrian walking bridge, underground walkway, or crossing.

People resort to running across the road, risking their lives, paying fines and increasing possible accidents.

From the Rolla bus station, on the way to Dubai, there are no more bus stops. It would be great if Sharjah authorities could improve the means of transportation for the daily commuter, considering the distance between bus stops.

Moreover, with the Salik toll, they should think about how these people will be inconvenienced.

We desire safety and a convenient way of transportation apart from minimum rate of taxis. I hope the authorities will look into this issue and do something about this.
