The minimum fare of a trip on Sharjah taxi has been increased by Dh1.50 to Dh11.50 from Dh10.

This was announced by the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA).

The price hike was implemented on Thursday, October15.

“Extra Dh1.5 will be added to the meter fare for fuel,” the authority tweeted over the long weekend.

Although the minimum charge in any trip will cost the commuter more, the starting fare will remain the same; Dh3.50 during the day and Dh4 during the night.
