The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) plans a major upgrade of Dubai’s taxi service and is planning to increase the number of cabs on the road. They also are considering the current taxi fares and a potential increase.

How this is going to impact Dubai expats?

This may not create a major impact on expats as most of them are not using taxis. However, this will impact travellers who are coming for holidays in Dubai and expats who are returning back from their vacation as most of them take taxis from the Dubai airport.

Many Dubai expats have told us that public transport is becoming their preferred option to avoid traffic and high taxi fare. But we all know that the Dubai public transport system needs many improvements to cater the large number of commuters.
