Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) along with Uber have signed an agreement to train chauffeurs that drive RTA limousines.
As Uber is highly acclaimed around the world, the training methodology used will also be used to train RTA limousine drivers.
The initiative has been taken by the RTA in an effort to enhance the quality of service delivered to the community.
The decision will also help the RTA with the aim to become ‘The World Leader in Seamless and Sustainable Mobility'.
A smart video-based training methodology will be added to the official driver's training programme at the RTA and will be available for existing and new drivers as a complimentary training course called Uber Methodology.
Saad Pal, General Manager of Uber for the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan said, “We are keen to work with RTA in delivering more accessible technological services to all riders of limousines in the emirate in a bid to make our innovative solutions more compatible to the city of Dubai. We repose full confidence in the efforts of RTA in training and qualifying drivers to deal with technologies and smart mobility, which will add to the quality of services and focus on the comfort, happiness and satisfaction of riders. Our long-term partnership with RTA bears reference to the importance of cooperation between public and private entities to achieve a better future through smooth mobility and safer roads. We are extremely excited to deliver our advanced expertise and technologies to RTA to achieve our common goals for a better future of e-hail of limousines.”
