This will be applicable to all kinds of cabs, including limousines
With fuel prices in the UAE dropping, authorities in Dubai have announced a reduction in taxi fares that will reflect immediately. The minimum fare in Dubai is down by 22 fils now.
Adel Shakri, director of Planning and Business Development at RTA’s Public Transport Agency said,
“The price has come down from 2.19 per km to 1.97 per km. This is the impact of the usual fuel prices going up and coming down. Since the last four months it has been going down and as a result, we reduced the tariff as well. This is part of our efforts to remain transparent with our customers. This will be applicable to all kinds of taxis including limousines.”
This makes a 20-kilometre taxi journey cheaper by Dh4.40.
The UAE on December 30 substantially reduced retail fuel prices for the month of January 2023.
Starting January 1, Super 98 costs Dh0.52 or 15.7 per cent less than December at Dh2.78 per litre. Similarly, Super 95 costs Dh2.67 per litre this month, down by 16 per cent or Dh0.51. E-Plus costs 16.7 per cent less at Dh2.59 per litre.
The first taxi fare reduction was implemented in October last year.
