RTA and Uber announced today the trial of an economy offering uberX that will provide riders in Dubai with access to safe and affordable rides. The announcement comes following a partnership agreement between Uber and the RTA in January to study new mobility options to support Dubai Plan 2021.
Based on a joint study between the two sides, the pilot uberX will be rolled out gradually over a trial period of 3 months starting from 17 April. It starts with a limited number of vehicles and expanding to a wider pool of riders and driver-partners. uberX will be priced lower than the current UberSELECT.
