More than 11,000 Dubai cabs will soon have smart billboards on their roofs, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said on Tuesday.
These taxi-top billboards will be displaying not only advertisements but also informative content about events and activities around the city. Since they are ‘smart’, displays change automatically, depending on the target viewers at the vehicle’s location, explained Khalid Al Awadi, director of transportation systems at the Public Transport Agency of the RTA.

Pretoria – The commission of inquiry into taxi violence in Gauteng has revealed there were still over 505 unsolved cases due to shoddy police investigations.
MEC for Public Transport and Roads Infrastructure Jacob Mamabolo made these remarks, quoting a report by the commission established in 2019 by Premier David Makhura to investigate the underlying causes and reasons behind the recurring violence in the industry.
The commission, chaired by retired justice Jeremiah Buti Shongwe, interviewed the biggest and smallest stakeholders, mostly behind closed doors, including witnesses and victims, to understand this problem affecting members of the South African National Taxi Council and the National Taxi Alliance.
