# OPERATIONAL SUPPORT .

##

Operating a fleet of 400 buses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, requires highly specialized operational and management support and the nucleus of the MBC fleet’s operational support is its 100,000 sqm Bus Depot, which includes the Operational Control Center, Maintenance Facilities, and Fuel Stations. The support teams include:

- 200 technical, operational, maintenance and management personnel

- 1,100 qualified bus drivers

##

The operational teams track and monitor all buses in real-time and can communicate directly with drivers using the on-board VOIP system. The teams can adjust service schedules and departures in real time, to maximize both service efficiency and customer experience, using data from the on-board Automated Passenger Counting Sensors.

##

MBC’s highly skilled maintenance teams operate 24/7, delivering planned and reactive servicing and maintenance to keep the bus fleet in optimum condition.

##

MBC’s bus drivers receive advanced training in the company’s state-of-the-art Driving Simulator which, like an aircraft simulator, allows instructors to put drivers through a number of driving experiences, including unexpected bad weather and vehicle failures.
