The UAE has announced a AED 170 billion package of national transport and road projects to be completed by 2030, aimed at easing congestion and improving mobility across the country.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has rolled out a new fare structure for taxis booked via smart apps, but the changes will not affect passengers hailing taxis directly on the street.

The UAE has already achieved 67 per cent of its national goals under the "We the UAE 2031" vision — with six years still to go.

Major projects in infrastructure, energy and Emirati workforce empowerment topped the agenda at the latest Ministerial Development Council meeting.
