DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 13th Apr, 2021) In his capacity as the Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, has ordered the payment of bonuses totalling over AED14 million to citizens whose taxi number plates are used by the Dubai Taxi Corporation and Taxi Franchise Companies.
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will begin distributing the 2020 bonuses to owners of 2,833 taxi number plates in addition to their annual dues during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Apart from enhancing their wellbeing and happiness, the initiative also contributes to boosting social solidarity," Al Tayer said.
