“We play a vital role in educating drivers before recruitment as well as after they make a violation by subjecting them to training courses and by making them aware about the traffic regulations adopted by our department,” says Faisal Al Mahmood, head of the Monitoring Section and Quality Service at Sharjah Transport Corporation (STC).

The Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) has teamed up with its strategic partner Emirates Islamic Bank to dispatch the second batch of cab drivers to perform Umrah, officials announced yesterday. The 50 drivers were chosen based on years of experience, performance, revenues, accidents, complaints, and good conduct.

At the launch of the corporation's 24-hour booking system, called Any Time Booking, Abdul Aziz Abdullah Al Shuhail, the company's director of technical support department, said as part of the new system, customers will be able to request one of the STC's family taxis, which are driven by women, or an ordinary cab. The corporation has increased the number of cabs with female drivers from eight to 23 in order to cater for families and women who do not feel comfortable travelling in taxis driven by men.

The Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC), Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), has recently offered a Umrah trip to 45 outstanding cabdrivers (first batch) in the context of its objectives to improve drivers' satisfaction rating, and boost the psychological and social atmosphere, which contributes to raising the operational efficiency and attaining higher customer satisfaction.

The corporation attributed the decline to the development of bus and taxi fleets. As many as 5,614 cabs and 224 buses are running on the emirate’s roads. The launch of new bus stops at crowded areas and the deployment of more patrols and controllers are additional grounds.

Drivers don't tell passengers about Dubai crossover charge at the outset. Residents continue to voice reservations about the taxi service in Sharjah with many taxi drivers not informing passengers in advance of the Dh20 charge that applies to inter-emirate trips to Dubai and back.
