During the collapse on the roads, private taxi services in Dubai tripled their prices.
Dubai, UAE. During the traffic collapse on the roads caused by heavy rain, the private taxi services in Dubai - Careem and Uber - boosted the prices of their services by 2-3 times.
Private traders took advantage of a situation in which official taxis in Dubai do not stop to take passengers, or are stuck in traffic jams.
For example, the journey from the JLT area to the Dubai Marina Mall will cost 85-100 dirhams by Uber taxi and 50-60 dirhams by Careem taxi at a standard price of 20 dirhams today. This is reported by users of social networks.
