Dubai’s best cabbies receive cash rewards at honouring ceremony

The event was held at Al Ittihad Rest House at DTC premises in the presence of directors, managers and employees.

“The DTC attaches considerable attention to distinguished drivers and allocates an annual budget of about two million dirhams as rewards for them under a system that selects drivers on the basis of excellent results achieved in delivering services to customers. The DTC is keen on rewarding cabdrivers on quarterlybasis in an effort to upgrade the level of services on offer through adopting an effective drivers assessment system based on daily performance results, and the reduction in accident and offence rates, besides offering training for low-performing drivers,” said Mansour Al Falasi, Acting CEO of the Dubai Taxi Corporation.

“The breakdown of 155 drivers honoured was as follows: five drivers in Category 1 were granted cash rewards of 10,000 dirhams each, 50 drivers in Category 2 were granted 5,000 dirhams each, and 95 drivers in Category 3 were granted 2,000 dirhams each. In the best category in terms of improved performance between the first and second quarters last year, honourees were rewarded with a cash amount of 2,000 dirhams each,” said Al Falasi.
