In accordance with the E-government policies in activating the corporate transactions in terms of the coordination and follow-up, and out of its constant commitment to keep in touch with its employees, the Dubai Taxi has taken the initiative of activating the Short Message Service (SMS) to the cell phones of all employees.
The aim behind the activation of this service is to keep all the employees informed of different issues related to them; including a one-month notification prior to expiry of their passports and reminding them two weeks after the expiry dates, if no action has been taken. Another notification is also sent out one month before the employees' residence visas expire, and a reminder two weeks after the expiry dates, if no action has been taken.
In addition, the SMS is activated to inform the drivers to collect their vehicles after undergoing the required maintenance, as well as the coordination about the remarks and feedback the public may propose over a number of issues such as the lost and found.
Ammar Bin Tamim, Director of the Dubai Taxi, Public Transport of RTA, assured the importance of activating this service, which would cover 5500 employees, and its efficient application to get acquainted with the employees' status on administrative and social levels.
