Owners of licensed taxis in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi have seven days before they miss the July 15 deadline to submit their proof of ownership at selected branches of National Bank of Abu Dhabi, which now includes the Baniyas branch in Abu Dhabi. Taxi owners registering within the given timeframe will benefit from the new compensation scheme.
“We are pleased with the response received so far from taxi owners in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. However, we want to give a fair and firm reminder to all taxi owners that have not complied with this important request to register by July 15,” says H.E. Khaled Saleh Al Rashedi, General Manager, Taxi and Hire Car Regulation Centre.
“We encourage all taxi owners to act early to take advantage of the extended branch network and avoid last minute submissions or the risk of missing deadlines,” added, H.E. Al Rashedi.
As mandated by Law number 19 of 2006, Abu Dhabi’s Taxi and Hire Car Regulation Centre is working on its plan to build the new taxi system in Abu Dhabi. Owners of licensed taxis in Abu Dhabi Emirate were requested to submit proof of ownership between July 1 and July 15 2007.
“This process allows us as a regulator to manage and monitor the new taxi scheme efficiently and ensures a smooth transition from the existing structure to the new state-of-the-art system,” concluded H.E. Al Rashedi.
For more information about the new taxi system, the Abu Dhabi Taxi Centre hotline is 600 56 0006.
