“The acquisition of 600 new taxi plates is a meaningful step forward for Dubai Taxi Company and reflects our confidence in the continued growth of Dubai’s mobility sector. As demand for transport services rises alongside the emirate’s urban development, we remain focused on scaling our operations to address our customers’ demand.
