Abu Dhabi Mobility said on 2 October 2026 that it will invest more than AED300 million in next-generation public transport systems. The planned project includes an Automated Vehicle Management system for real-time bus and journey monitoring, plus an integrated digital fare platform supporting bank cards, digital payments and QR codes. The contract was awarded to Conduent Business Solutions S.A.S., a French company whose solutions are deployed in more than 400 public transport networks across over 20 countries, according to the Abu Dhabi release; those reach figures were not independently audited by BARQ360 NEWS. Separately, parent company Conduent announced on 21 May 2026 an agreement to sell its Public Transit business to Modaxo for $164 million, with closing expected before the end of 2026 subject to customary conditions. The 2 October Abu Dhabi release nevertheless names Conduent Business Solutions as the contract awardee. No deployment or passenger-service launch date was announced, so the systems are reported as planned rather than already available.
