Sharrah Khilawala, senior communications consultant, added, “This new scheme will
significantly increase my monthly expenditure. I live in Sharjah and commute to Dubai
Media City, while my husband travels to Umm Suqeim. We already spend a lot on Salik
since we drive separately due to differing work schedules. With this dynamic pricing, our
expenses will almost double, making it challenging. I’m not in favour of this move as it
adds unnecessary pressure on regular commuters like us. My husband and I might
carpool to cut down on Salik expenses.”
