11 Ladies-only taxis launched in Ajman
Women in Ajman will now have access to ladies-only taxis, similar to those that already run in other emirates.
The Ajman Transport launched the service called the Mahra Taxi on Thursday to open up services to a large segment of women in the emirate, it said.
There have been 11 taxis so far included in the fleet, though the company announced plans to expand to 50 taxis later.
Ajman Transport board member Ahmed Al Foora said at a Press conference that the new service is aimed to maintain the privacy of women who did not want to travel in a taxi driven by a man.
Initially, Mahra taxis shall be available at public places, women societies, markets and shopping centres which draw large crowds of women, while it will be offered over pre-booking or on demand at a later stage.
The taxi fare will start at Dh3.50, while the female drivers will draw a monthly salary of Dh4,000 per month, plus a cut of the profits.
