More than 27 million Dubai taxi rides made in first three months of 2023

 

More than 27 million taxi journeys were made in Dubai in the first three months of 2023 – up one million from the same period last year.

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority said on Monday that the latest figures underlined the sector's “remarkable growth” over the past five years.

The sharp rise comes amid a population boom in Dubai and a concerted push by authorities to encourage the use of mass transport to help cut congestion and emissions.
