His Excellency Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced that the Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) would launch the London Taxi version service using the popular British cabs.

The DTC will start trialling the iconic taxis currently operating in the British capital next month and the service will be available at the Dubai International Airport.

Al Tayer made the announcement during a visit to the DTC where he reviewed the performance indicators of the Corporation in 2020 as well as new projects to be undertaken this year.

A spokesperson from RTA said via social media: “The trialling of the London Taxi version service will start this February and the service will be available at the Dubai International Airport. The new taxi is characterised by a unique and roomy interior that offers riders a wide space and six seats in a separate cabin.

“The design serves the needs of people of determination as well. The taxi is fitted with a satellite-based navigation system, voice command system, forward-collision warning system, blind-spot monitoring system, and lane departure warning system in addition to a WIFI network.”
