Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has just introduced their new virtual assistant named ‘Mahboub’ ready to answer queries from the metro timings, booking taxis, and even provides a step by step process to renew your driver’s license and vehicle license!
‘Mahboub’, an Arabic name which means ‘loved’ or ‘adored’, is able to communicate either in English or Arabic. The virtual assistant gives instant replies to any questions relating to the metro, taxis, ferry, Nol card, public transportation, driver’s and vehicle licenses, parking, and more.
Meet Mahboub, your new best friend on the road. Whatever question you have in mind he is prepared and ready to answer. Chat with him now: https://t.co/OuTQlDLinJ. pic.twitter.com/Yug7cvg12C
