The Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) has increased the number of taxis on its platform through Bolt, the ride-hailing service, by adding 1,607 vehicles from Arabia Taxi. This expansion, facilitated by a partnership agreement, is expected to enhance fleet utilization, reliability, and service speed, according to DTC. With approximately 59% market share in Dubai, DTC is one of the largest taxi operators in the city, boasting over 11,000 vehicles across various services.
The integration will bring Arabia Taxi's 1,607-strong fleet onto the Bolt platform, which the company believes will provide faster booking and reduced estimated arrival times for customers. Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, DTC's CEO, emphasized that such expansions are aimed at improving the customer experience and supporting the company's growth as demand for app-based mobility rises.
Meanwhile, Rawoof Ali, Arabia Taxi's executive director, highlighted that the partnership with Bolt will open up broader access to customers and enhance operational efficiency for the company.
