Ras Al Khaimah tourism has signed an agreement with Skyports Infrastructure to introduce air taxis in the emirate
Adel Shakri, Director of Transportation Systems, RTA Public Transport Agency, said, "This initiative has been rolled out following the partnership between the RTA and Network International LLC; the provider of e-payment devices fitted to taxicabs in Dubai.
"As we are keen on enhancing the efficiency of this advanced service, we have felicitated several cab drivers who have achieved the highest score in the use of the e-payment transactions in their taxicabs. The objective of honoring these cab drivers is to encourage cabbies to make it easy for taxi riders to pay the applicable fares through credit/NOL cards, and avoid excuses hindering the use of such technology. The awards also foster a competitive atmosphere between cab drivers of franchise companies; which will ensure maximum accessibility to the service as it eliminates the problem of lacking cash amounts for payment of fares," added Sharkri.
"The RTA spares no effort in bringing happiness to riders of public transport means in general and taxis in particular. Taxis offer some privacy sought by certain customer segments. The RTA is considering charting out plans covering all taxicabs in Dubai in a way that adds to the convenience of residents, visitors and tourists of the Emirate," concluded the Director of Transportation Systems.
