According to Abdullah Al Zari, director of Sharjahâs transport department, starting September 1, the minimum tariff for using the taxi services of the emirate will be ten dirhams. In addition, new taxi fares are also being introduced. So, every 620 m of the way will cost one dirham (US $ 0.2) instead of 650 m, as was previously accepted. Boarding a taxi will cost 3.5 dirhams (US $ 0.9) during the day and 4 dirhams (US $ 1.09) at night.
The increase in prices for taxi services in Sharjah is due to the numerous requests of companies providing these services, which justify their increase in gas prices. Recall that this is the second increase in taxi prices in this emirate since the beginning of this year.
