The bikes are equipped with the latest safety features, monitored by tracking devices, and supported by a control center that operates around the clock.
“Dubai Taxi Corporation offers cutting-edge motorbikes driven by highly efficient and qualified drivers who conform to best practices to ensure safe delivery services to customers,” Mansoor Al Falasi, chief executive of the DTC, said in a statement.
“DTC’s professional team is eager to provide top-notch services in terms of operation, tracking and maintenance, and the service preserves the identity of the brands of companies in contract with DTC,” he added.
According to the RTA, there were 2,891 delivery service companies in Dubai as of December, an increase of 48.3 percent compared with 2021.
Last March, RTA bared that it would build three rest stops for delivery drivers in the emirate.
