The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) recently signed a strategic agreement with six taxi franchise companies: Cars, Al Arabia, Metro, National, Citi Taxi and Hatta Taxi, in addition to Dubai Taxi Agency, with the aim to upgrade the level of service and enhance performance standards.

The agreement was signed on behalf of the RTA by Essa Abdul-Rahman Al Dossari, CEO of public transport agency, and on behalf of Dubai Taxi Agency by CEO Abdul Aziz Malik. The franchise companies have to take part in curricula and training courses, which public transport agency and Dubai Taxi Agency are planning to develop. They are also invited to name their representatives in a joint RTA delegation to visit Singapore to review the best practices, methods and curricula adopted in public transport sector, particularly taxis.
