Up to 1,200 passengers will be transported per hour during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar with about 1,400 daily Dubai Metro trips, 700 additional taxis, 60 dedicated public buses, and three marine transit means. Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) unveiled its master plan for managing the mobility of residents and visitors at fan zones in Dubai and facilitating the movement of fans flying to Qatar through Al Maktoum International Airport.
About 700 additional taxis will be added to the RTA’s existing fleet of 11,310. The Hala cabs can be booked through the Careem app. The taxi services will be available around the clock during weekends and public holidays. Authorities will take real-time traffic conditions into account to allocate resources accordingly.
