Dubai Taxi Company (DTC), in partnership with Bolt, has joined forces with National Taxi LLC to expand and modernize Dubai’s ride-hailing network, delivering faster, more efficient, and customer-centric transport solutions across the emirate.
The partnership was formalized through the signing of an agreement between Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Company, and Toufic Mitri, Managing Director of National Taxi LLC.
Expanded Fleet for Enhanced Service
Under the agreement, 1,823 National Taxi vehicles will be integrated into the Bolt platform, significantly expanding fleet capacity and service coverage. The expanded network is expected to reduce waiting times, improve operational efficiency, and provide faster ETAs, particularly during peak periods.

“At DTC, we are committed to building strategic partnerships that enhance customer experience while strengthening Dubai’s mobility ecosystem. Through this collaboration, and with the addition of National Taxis to our existing fleet of over 10,000 taxis on the Bolt platform, we are expanding access to taxis and embedding them more deeply into the digital ride-hailing experience. This integration brings us closer to reaching the 80 percent target set by the Dubai Government for converting street-hailing trips to e-hailing. The growing demand for taxi services in Dubai is driven by rapid digital transformation, sustained urbanization, strong tourism growth, and ongoing fleet modernization—key pillars of a thriving city’s economy. By aligning our services with these drivers, we are building a resilient, future-ready mobility network that supports economic growth, improves driver opportunities, and delivers seamless journeys for residents and visitors alike.”
Toufic Mitri, Managing Director of National Taxi LLC, remarked that, “We are glad to have our fleet of 1,823 taxis on one of the UAE’s leading e-hailing platforms, Bolt. This partnership represents a significant step forward in optimizing fleet utilization and enhancing operational efficiency. With the smart technology and real-time demand matching capabilities of the Bolt platform, we are able to reduce idle time, improve driver productivity, and deliver faster, more reliable service to customers.”
“Beyond efficiency, this collaboration enables us to elevate service quality while supporting more sustainable mobility through better route optimization and reduced unnecessary mileage,” Mitri added.
The alliance demonstrates Dubai’s commitment to leveraging technology and strategic partnerships to deliver world-class urban mobility solutions.
