The article says the ministry will be also installing 911 stations including 310 inside Beirut with a sign to inform passengers about possible delays.
The Public Works and Transport Ministry is devising a strategy for managing the sector in Lebanon by purchasing 250 new buses to operate on 20 routes inside Beirut while linking it with stations in other areas such as Tripoli, Sidon and Chtaura, according to the head of the parliamentary commission for Public Works, Energy, Water and Transportation.
MP Mohammad Qabbani said during a meeting to discuss this issue Tuesday that 200 buses would be dedicated to Beirut while the other 50 would work in between other governorates.
Here’s a map showing Lebanon’s bus routes and map but I don’t know where we can find the bus schedules online.

Liked the typo, Khalde(in arabic) Hay el seloum (copy/paste issue ?)…
Also, Route number in black in section Key to symbols.
I mean, for God’s sake , a college student double check his map before publish it … no one had the chance to look at it first ….
I was just sitting in one of these buses today and wondering when they’d buy new ones.
There will be more traffic with additional 250 busses on the road UNLESS number of those private busses is reduced
If people are encouraged to use these busses, traffic will become less.
We need electric buses and vehicles !!
