There are currently eight toll gates in operation – Al Barsha, Al Garhoud
Bridge, Al Maktoum Bridge (free to use on Sunday and between 10pm
and 6am on other days), Al Mamzar South and Al Mamzar North
(charged once if passing within a one hour window), Al Safa, Airport
Tunnel, and Jebel Ali.

“The existing toll gates contributed to reducing the total travel time in
Dubai by six million hours annually, decreasing traffic volumes on the Al
Maktoum and Al Garhoud bridges by 26 percent, reducing travel times on
Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Ittihad Street by 24 percent, and increasing
the number of mass transit users by nine million riders per annum,” al-
Tayer said.

Last year, RTA raised $1 billion from the listing of Salik Co. on the Dubai
Financial Market, and has been among the best performer out of the

city’s privatizations.

Over 3.6 million vehicles are registered on the system which was
introduced in 2007. It achieved a net profit of $218 million (AED 803
million) in the first nine months of 2023 with profit margin of 51.9 percent,
according to information shared by Salik.
