Abu Dhabi announced a new plan for taxis, and it was heavily covered in the press, with stories in the Gulf News, Khaleej Times, and Emirates Today (probably others too, but I only checked these three). After reading all these stories, I can't say that I understand exactly what the changes will mean for ownership, but then I don't understand the current system either. I understand that the fares are going up slightly - trips to work for me will be about 1.50 dirhams more expensive.
One thing that I noticed: There seems to be one group that is not really mentioned in any of these stories. It seems a little strange that none of these stories addressed what these changes will mean for the drivers.
This blog began as a description of our life in Al Ain, UAE (United Arab Emirates). Brn worked at the UAE University Libraries Deanship for three years and Bss homeschooled our four children, D, B, P, and O. After returning to the the USA for five years, we are living in Abu Dhabi now.
