Dubai Taxi Company PJSC (DTC), reinforcing its position as Dubai’s largest taxi operator, has acquired another 250 new license plates for its taxi fleet in the recent auction by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), bringing its total taxi fleet to 6,210 vehicles.

Commitment to Sustainable Mobility
Alfalasi said that, driven by the growing demand for transportation services, Dubai Taxi Company will continue to enhance its operational capabilities to meet customer needs efficiently and flexibly. By expanding its fleet of fully electric vehicles, the Company aims to reduce emissions, maximize operational efficiency, and contribute to environmental preservation. These efforts align with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Government's strategic goals of achieving comprehensive environmental sustainability in the transportation sector.
