There is a novel approach that Dubai's citizens can adopt to alleviate the traffic congestion currently plaguing the roads.
People in Dubai now have a new method to manage the traffic congestion on the roads.
Every day, these inhabitants of Dubai ride their bicycles to work in order to avoid the traffic.
They have brought attention to the positive effects on health, as well as their personal contribution to reducing carbon emissions and traffic congestion.
Temperatures are climbing as summer arrives in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Despite this, there are still inhabitants who are enthusiastic about riding their bicycles to work.
They do so for a variety of reasons, including the fact that it is convenient, beneficial to their health, and helps reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion.
Mohsin Hasam Palija, 35, a resident of Dubai who works as a boat captain, said that he has been able to save at least Dh700 every month for the past year by avoiding taking taxis and instead riding a bike for his daily commute to work and home. It is around 8 kilometers away from the Indian expat's place of employment. When I was younger, I would pay approximately Dh18 to hail a cab from my house to my place of employment, and my monthly budget was approximately Dh700.
Nevertheless, ever since I signed up for a subscription to a bike-sharing program, my expenses for commuting have decreased to Dh420 for a single year.
Palija is more comfortable renting a bicycle than purchasing one because there is no cost associated with maintenance, and she does not have to worry about finding a parking spot.
The docking facilities for bicycles are conveniently located in both my neighborhood and the location where I work.
I purchased a year's worth of unrestricted use, and whenever I find myself in need of a bike, I simply open the app and take one," he went on to say.
