Getting around Dubai is not much of a problem as there are a number of options in terms of means of transport available. Here is an attempt at presenting a comprehensive picture of Dubai in terms of local transport.
Taxi ServiceThe most common means of transport to move around Dubai is the local taxi. There are basically two kinds of taxis in Dubai –
a. Metered Taxis: Metered taxis are cream coloured and are run by the Dubai Transport Corporation. They charge a pick-up fee in addition to per kilometer fare.
b. Non-metered Taxis: Non-metered taxis are by far cheaper than the metered ones. They charge a negotiable fare.
In addition, there are charted taxis available at the airport. These taxis move guests from the airport to the city-centre or to the respective hotels. However, most of the hotels in Dubai have their own shuttle service to and from the airport. In addition to road taxis, there are water taxis in Dubai too. These are called “abras” and Dubai Creek is the place you can get to in order to hire one.
In a nutshell, taxis are readily and affordably available all over Dubai.
