Mobility Redefined

Dubai’s taxi sector has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past three decades — evolving from unregulated, individually owned cars into a unified, technology-led system that is fully integrated with public transport. In this episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz meets Adel Shakeri, Director of Strategy, Planning and Business Development at the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai, to uncover the lessons behind this success.Adel shares how RTA transitioned to a franchise model, set clear KPIs, and integrated global ride-hailing platforms into the city’s operations. He explains why safety and customer satisfaction are top priorities, how real-time data improves service, and why average taxi wait times are under 3.5 minutes for most passengers. The conversation also explores contract structures, operator responsibilities, and the importance of stakeholder buy-in for lasting reform.For transport leaders and city planners, this episode offers practical insights on operational excellence, public–private partnerships, and preparing for innovations such as self-driving taxis and a full shift to e-hailing.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Mobility Redefined Podcast00:17 Welcome and Introduction of Mr. Adel Shakeri00:55 Dubai's Taxi Transformation Journey02:29 Integration of Technology in Taxi Services04:01 Franchise Model and Operational Framework12:32 Role of Technology and Future Innovations15:53 Advice for Other Cities and Future Vision18:24 Conclusion and FarewellConnect with Us:Website: https://mobilityredefined.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mobility-redefined/ Mobility Redefined is brought to you by Modaxo https://www.modaxo.comHost: Dr. Kaan YildizgozProducer: Mike CartmelExecutive Producer: Darren TurpinSpecial thanks to:Brand design: Tina OlagundoyeDigital Media: Belén Iturrioz CampoMarketing content: Mike CartmelIf you have a question or comment, email us at mike.cartmel@modaxo.com Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).
