• ‘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.
