‘Peak-hour charges are unavoidable’
Long-time Dubai resident Richelle Wingco-Fosberry, head of operations at Mojo PR, is
doubtful whether the dynamic pricing scheme will save her money. She said:
“Personally, the peak hours are unavoidable as they coincide with my work and meeting
schedules. I will leave home during off-peak hours on other days to avoid traffic and
additional Salik costs.
“If I had flexible working hours, I could adjust my daily commute to avoid peak times.
However, with a standard 9-to-5 job, this isn't feasible. Fortunately, working from home
twice a week is a great perk that helps mitigate some of the impact of the new pricing
scheme,” she added.
