DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 14th Aug, 2019) Al Merqab, an electronic system developed by Roads and Transport Authority, RTA, to govern limo and e-Hail services (Uber and Careem), has won a smart mobility award from the International Data Corporation, IDC.
IDC is a reputed international entity for judging the most innovative technology projects and practices, with a regional office in Dubai.

"The system has been installed in 5700 e-hail and limos out of a fleet of 6200 vehicles. The technology enables us to identify the total distance and operation hours done by these vehicles in serving customers.
