While most of us are staying indoors, there is a group out there who is doing their bit, just to ensure we stay safe. Apart from doctors, nurses, and delivery guys, Dubai Taxi drivers are also working very hard to ensure a few us reach home/work safe. And now, with tourism facing a massive decline, taxi drives are facing a major decline in demand.
Tipping your taxi driver is could be the best thing you can do to help the situation. Meanwhile, Hala, the Dubai Taxi service is now available on Careem. Hala has doubled its efforts to help taxi drivers boost their income during this tough phase. As a way of boosting drivers’ daily income, Hala said it will match any tip given by a customer at the end of their journey. Customers who book a Dubai Taxi through Careem can use the app’s tipping option for drivers (or captains, as Careem refers to them).
Clemence Dutertre, CEO for Hala. said: “Our Captains are at the core of our business and their wellbeing is always our top priority. We are committed to ensuring that all possible solutions are in place to support them during this most unusual time.”
Meanwhile, residents are permitted to use Hala, Careem or any other taxi services only for buying food and basic essentials; going to the hospital; or commutes for those who work in one of the approved sectors.
