emirates7 - As part of its efforts to enhance the transportation system and simplify the mobility experience within the emirate, Ras Al Khaimah Transport Authority (RAKTA) has signed an agreement with Uber, to launch the Uber app services in the emirate.
The agreement aims to strengthen the transport ecosystem in Ras Al Khaimah and provide smart and diverse mobility options by enabling users to book taxis and limousines through the Uber app.
The agreement was signed by Esmaeel Hasan Al Blooshi, Director-General of RAKTA, and Tala Nsouli, General Manager of Uber UAE, at RAKTA’s headquarters, in the presence of several department directors and officials from both parties.
Under this agreement, customers will be able to easily request reliable and convenient taxi and limousine rides via the Uber app, available 24 hours a day at the push of a button. Riders who book trips through the Uber app, will be able to pay the fare securely and digitally, streamlining the rider experience for everyday convenient mobility.

He noted that operating taxis and limousines through the Uber app represents a qualitative leap in the emirate’s transport sector, boosting operational efficiency and supporting the integration of a smart public transport ecosystem.
He added that this partnership provides a wider range of visitors, tourists, and residents with convenient and accessible transport options through smart platforms, especially with the growing number of visitors and tourists arriving in the emirate each year.
