RTA confirms Salik fees for taxis

  • United Arab Emirates: Thursday, December 06 - 2012 at 01:30

The Roads and Transport Authority has confirmed that taxis in Dubai are to include Salik tolls in the fare total from mid-January 2013, only when passengers are onboard , Gulf News has reported. RTA official Eisa Abdurrahman Al Dossari said that passengers will have a right to choose whether they want to use Salik or an alternative route. "The passage of taxicabs under Salik toll gates will be optional for taxi passengers," said Al Dossari. "This decision will clearly contribute to easing the traffic flow by re-routing the vehicular movement on a number of roads and streets in the Emirate. Most notably, it is set to ease the pressure on Sheikh Zayed Road, and encourage commuters to use the Dubai Metro in their daily travels," he added.
