Details of the New Taxi Fare System
- Peak Hours on Fridays: From 8:00 AM to 9:59 AM and 4:00 PM to 9:59 PM, higher taxi fares will be applied to reflect the increased passenger demand during these times.
- Flagfall Rate on Fridays: Between 10:00 PM and 11:59 PM, the initial fare (flagfall) has been set at Dh5.5 to better balance taxi availability with rider needs.
Purpose and Benefits
The RTA highlights the purpose of the new fare rates as follows:
- Reflect Real-Time Conditions: Adjust fares based on current traffic and demand for taxis.
- Improve Service: Provide better convenience and availability for residents and visitors.
