It seeks to modernize the city’s transport infrastructure by introducing centralized hubs for taxis and buses, regulating informal transport and parking, and enhancing road safety. Aligned with Yemen’s National Urban Transport Strategy,⁴ the project directly responds to the urban mobility and infrastructure challenges amid rapid population growth and increasing urbanization.⁵
To achieve the vision, the project focuses on strategic locations across Sana’a, prioritizing three major streets; Taiz, Airport, and Al-Zubairi. Prioritizing functionality and cultural relevance,⁶ key features include:

Six modern taxi stations with digital dispatch systems and shaded waiting areas.⁷
Three bus terminals with dedicated lanes for intercity travel and local services.⁸
Commercial amenities such as cafes and retail outlets to activate public spaces and support local commerce.⁹

The project is spearheaded by Yemen’s Ministry of Transport in collaboration with Sana’a local authorities and international donors.¹⁰ Implementation follows a phased approach:

First Phase [2022–2024]: Delivered 132 designed passengers areas across the city (53 on Taiz Street, 42 on Airport Street, 37 on Al -Zubairi Street).¹¹ ¹²
Second Phase [2024–Ongoing]: Expanding to additional sites and integrating solar power systems.¹³
Future Phases [as of 2024]: On hold due to funding shortages,¹⁴ with long-term goals still targeting a fully modernized, inclusive transport system.¹⁵
