Ajman Increased Taxi Fares After UAE Fuel Price Hike

After the rise in fuel prices in the United Arab Emirates, rising transport and freight prices were also expected. As a result, Ajman Transport, the city’s transport authority, announced an increase in taxi fares.

According to the agency, the taxi fare rose from AED 1.78 to AED 1.83 per kilometer, an increase of 5 fils.

Other UAE transport authorities are also expected to announce an increase soon as fuel prices have risen by up to 10%. Below is the table showing the price increase compared to January:

Fuel Type Price Per Liter in January Price Per Liter in February Increase
Super 98 AED 2.78 AED 3.05 9.71%
Special 95 AED 2.67 AED 2.93 9.74%
Diesel AED 3.29 AED 3.38 2.74%
E-plus 91 AED 2.59 AED 2.86 10.42%

Fuel prices in the United Arab Emirates were deregulated in 2015, allowing them to be determined by the market. However, after the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, the Fuel Price Board re-regulated them only to deregulate them again in March 2021.
