The Centre also monitors drivers’ wrong practices and ensures their commitment and adherence to the regulations as well as raising operational efficiency by following up on the availability of vehicles in vital locations and event venues as well as at Sharjah Airport.
The Centre directs drivers to the locations with high demand and helps reduce accidents, quality complaints and traffic violations and contributes to reducing expenses, particularly fuel consumption costs.
Among others, the Centre’s opening ceremony was attended by Waleed Al Sayegh, CEO of Sharjah Asset Management Company, Abdul Aziz Al Jarwan, Director of Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) for Transportation Affairs, Sheikh Saud bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, CEO of Osool Transportation Solutions; and Khalid Al-Kindi, Executive Director of Sharjah Taxi.
