Sami Ali Al Jallaf, executive director of the Public Transport and Licensing Agency at Ajman Transport Authority, said achieving full coverage is part of the authority’s efforts to ensure school buses meet approved safety requirements.
Pupils’ safety is its foremost priority, he said, with checks focused on ensuring buses and their protective systems were ready for service.
Al Jallaf said automatic fire suppression systems are an important preventive measure, providing an early response to engine compartment fires and improving the operational safety of school buses.
The authority is also working to ensure that other safety equipment and systems functioned effectively, he added. Those efforts are intended to maintain reliable school transport services and strengthen parents’ confidence in the emirate’s school bus network.
Al Jallaf said the authority would continue to improve safety and fire prevention standards, with a focus on protecting pupils and making safety a central part of transport services in Ajman.
