Putting Passengers First: How Dubai Reinvented the Taxi Experience

Putting Passengers First: How Dubai Reinvented the Taxi Experience

What does it take for a city to evolve into one of the most passenger-focused taxi systems in the world?

In a new interview, Dr. Kaan Yildizgöz speaks with Adel Shakiri, Director of Planning & Business Development at Dubai’s RTA, about how the RTA led a public transport-wide transformation through a clear strategic framework, strong governance and a relentless focus on the passenger.

The results speak for themselves:

  • Over 172M trips per year and growing
  • An RTA-led governance framework: single dispatch, franchise model, KPI governance
  • Real-time access to operational data to improve decisions
  • Seamless integration with e-hail and the wider public transport system

In an additional brief video, Adel also shares how a 30+ year partnership with Trapeze has helped deliver better journeys through smart technology especially in meeting key KPIs like Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) that directly impact rider satisfaction.
