Public bus commuters were at a standstill after buses temporarily halted their journeys on the morning of February 17, Wednesday, due to heavy fog formations.

A representative from the Abu Dhabi Integrated Transport Centre confirmed to The Filipino Times that bus operations have been put on hold, and advised that public bus transportation will only resume once the fog clears.
