Does the legalisation of car pooling make a difference to you getting to Work in Dubai?

Now that car pooling has been officially legalised in the UAE, I wonder how many people have actually signed up to use it!? In theory, it sounds great. With all the new salik tolls opening up all over Dubai, and with traffic congestion continuing to frustrate Dubai's residents, car pooling sounds like a great way to get to and from work each day. The only small problem, is that a car pooling permit is only granted once you can prove you will be transporting colleagues and not any one else. Not great really if you are working for a small organisation. On the whole though I congratulate the RTA (Road and Transport Authority) in the UAE on the decision and encourage all of you working residents in the UAE to take advantage of the car pooling. If you think car pooling will help you get to work in the mornings in Dubai, or for more information, check out www.rta.ae.

Drive safe and enjoy the last of the light traffic during the Ramadan hours!
