Department of Transport, Abu Dhabi envisioned its public portal, DARB (www.darb.ae), as the main gateway to share maps and services with citizens in Abu Dhabi Emirate, using a fast and simple, map-based interface. All the services were planned and implemented in English as well as Arabic languages to cater to both the local culture and the diversified expatriate community of the Emirate. Some of the main services that have been launched for the public are car travel, bus travel, aviation, maritime, and the DARBI (Geofeedback) applications.
