Great move!
The MoHRE's initiative to build 10,000+ air conditioned rest areas for delivery riders is a commendable move ('Over 10,000 rest stations provided for delivery workers across UAE during Midday Break', Gulf Today, June 10.) Working outside in this scorching heat is risky. The cool rest areas help prevent dehydration and heat exhaustion for delivery workers. Riders can take break there during the midday work break. These rest areas give delivery workers a safe, cool place to rest. We must appreciate the effort of MoHRE, RTA and others for valuing the health, safety for these workers. Hats off to the MoHRE and it is indeed an example for the entire world. Umm Ul Khulsum Sharjah

Dubai to start trialling self-driving taxis later this year
Dubai will start trialling self-driving taxis later this year under a new partnership between the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Uber Technologies and WeRide. The vehicles will be available via the Uber app and will initially operate with a safety driver on board. It will pave the way for the full-scale commercial rollout of driverless services in 2026, RTA announced on Sunday. "The introduction of self-driving taxis will enhance quality of life for residents and visitors, boost road safety, and promote seamless integration across the public transport network by facilitating access to final destinations in line with the specialised First and Last-Mile Strategy," highlighted Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA. It also represents "a significant leap towards a smart and sustainable future for mobility" and "supports the objectives of Dubai Smart Self-Driving Transport Strategy, which seeks to convert 25 per cent of all mobility journeys in the emirate into autonomous trips by 2030". Frans Hiemstra, Regional General Manager, MEA at Uber, added that the "strategic collaboration anchors (their) commitment to make autonomous vehicles more accessible to people around the world and we're excited to bring this experience to thousands of riders in Dubai later this year".
