(Credit: Dubai Media Office) To meet demands, the number of taxi drivers has also rapidly expanded, from around 13,000 last year to 14,000 in the first half of 2025. As the city grows, the RTA also reported the highest growth in recent years for online taxi booking, hourly vehicle rentals and the Hala Taxi service. Speaking about the figures, Adel Shakri, Director of Planning and Business Development at the Public Transport Agency at the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), said: 'This vital sector has witnessed steady growth over the past years. The number of trips in the first half of this year reached 59.5 million trips, compared to 55.7 million trips in the same period last year, representing a seven percent increase between the two halves of the mentioned year.'

Once you activate the 'away mode' for your DEWA account, you will receive daily and weekly emails on water consumption. This way you can keep an eye out for any surges, abnormalities or outlying consumption readings when you're away from home. You can easily select the start and end dates for the duration that you will be away from home, and for which time you want the 'away mode' to be activated. You can select the activation period, which will also allow you to decide how often you receive data on electricity and water use when you are away. If you are signed up for DEWA notifications on the app and have enabled location services to track on your mobile phone then you will receive a text when you arrive at DXB or Abu Dhabi airport you will receive a text message alerting you to turn on Away Mode.

Emirates ID renewal: 5 easy and fast steps
Is it time to get your Emirates ID renewed? If the answer is yes, then you need to know about these five steps that'll help you get your card quickly. Normally, it takes about a working week to get your Emirates ID and there are some things you can do to ensure that time isn't extended. The Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security UAE posted on X all the steps that can smoothen the process. How to renew your Emirates ID Step One: Submit your fingerprint data on time (Credit: CanvaPro) Get your biometrics taken within 30 days of your application date. Usually, you don't need to do this unless you are new to the city, but if you've been in the system for over 10 years, you might be asked to rescan your fingerprints. Everyone over the age of 15 must submit their fingerprints. Wondering how to book an appointment? When applying for your Emirates ID, you can book yourself an appointment at an ICP Customer Happiness Centre. If you are applying for a visa yourself, you can book a slot through the ICP website. Step Two: Sort out your medical insurance (Credit: CanvaPro) In Dubai, the sponsor is legally responsible for getting the medical insurance. Once this is sorted, you need to complete the procedures of your residence visa (such as a medical test). Step Three: Put the applicant's correct telephone number (Credit: CanvaPro) This is a very, very important step as this is the number through which you'll get status updates – including when your Emirates ID is ready for pick up. Keep an eye on the SMS that will help you keep track of which point of the process your application is at. Step four: Check the dates on your passport (Credit: CanvaPro) Your passport must be valid for more than six months when you apply for your Emirates ID. It's located on the first page of your passport along with the information of when and where the document was approved. Step five: Make modifications in time (Credit: CanvaPro) The authority calls for any modifications to the applications that need to be made to be made within 30 days. There's a lot you can do with this identity document. Check out our list of things it can help with.
