For Mayank Chaturvedi, director at Brand Sentry, “The new tariffs for parking and Salik
are only going to worsen the traffic situation and increase the financial burden on the
daily commuters. Alternative routes are either longer or also subject to Salik, which
ultimately increases the overall time and cost for daily commuters. My usual route from
Sheikh Zayed to Business Bay has gotten almost 40 minutes longer and also
expensive. To truly help commuters, reduce traffic, and save costs, we need solutions
that are both fuel- and cost-effective.”
