The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has expanded its taxi-sharing service to cover two major locations: Al Maktoum International Airport and the Dubai World Trade Centre. This move aims to enhance transport accessibility and provide affordable travel options for passengers arriving and departing from these key hubs.
Expansion Details
The taxi-sharing service, which allows multiple passengers to share a taxi and split the fare, was previously available on select routes within Dubai. With this expansion, passengers can now opt for this service when traveling to or from:
- Al Maktoum International Airport
- Dubai World Trade Centre
Benefits of the Service
This initiative is expected to:
- Reduce travel costs for passengers by sharing taxi fares.
- Minimize traffic congestion by decreasing the number of individual taxi trips.
- Enhance convenience and accessibility around key transport and event locations.
How to Use the Service
Passengers can book the shared taxi service through the RTA’s official app, selecting the taxi-sharing option when specifying their pickup and drop-off points. The system matches passengers traveling along similar routes to optimize efficiency.
This expansion aligns with Dubai’s broader vision to promote smart, sustainable, and user-friendly transport solutions across the emirate.
