Dubai Taxi Company PJSC (DTC) and Etihad Rail have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the second edition of Global Rail Transport Infrastructure Exhibition and Conference in Abu Dhabi, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership that will see DTC serve as a provider of mobility services for Etihad Rail.
The MOU was signed by Mr. Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, Chief Executive Office, Dubai Taxi Company, and Azza Alsuwaidi, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Rail Mobility.
Under the terms of the MoU, DTC and Etihad Rail will work closely to ensure seamless and efficient transport services for passengers at Etihad Rail stations in Dubai. This will include developing flexible work plans for events organized by Etihad Rail, coordinating the location of taxis, limousines, and VIP vehicles, and preparing plans to manage congestion and secure smooth customer exit. DTC will also explore advanced traffic management solutions, including transport simulations, to enhance safety and efficiency.
In addition, the company will provide a fleet of taxis, limousines, and buses that meet the highest Road and Transport Authority standards, operated by highly trained drivers with regional expertise to ensure Etihad Rail passengers enjoy convenient, safe, and premium mobility services. Through DTC’s partnership with Bolt, the global shared mobility platform, passengers can seamlessly book taxis and limousines directly via the Bolt app — guaranteeing a stress-free journey. Etihad Rail will further identify and facilitate the most suitable station sites for vehicle line-ups, customer loading, and smooth transport flow
