  "summary": "The UAE has launched a comprehensive back-to-school safety drive, with Abu Dhabi Police increasing patrols and traffic wardens on key school routes to manage the expected surge in road traffic. Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is conducting a 30-day inspection campaign for school buses and partnering with ride-hailing companies to provide dedicated taxi services. The RTA has also introduced a 50% discount on public transport for pupils and is boosting bus frequency in key areas. Additionally, the RTA has completed traffic improvements at ten schools across the emirate, including new roads, additional parking, and safety measures.",
