RTA will also offer mParking service enabling motorists to pay parking fees through SMS, Dalili service (dynamic navigation service), and Salik service; all provided by Traffic & Roads Agency.
“Public Transport Agency will also have a package of excellent services on display during Gitex 2009; which includes Wojhati (Journey Planner), Real Time Passenger Information system which displays live information on e-monitors, and Automated Vehicle Management system; which streamlines the operation of bus service and provides inputs required for operating other transport modes. Metro Geographical Information Systems will also be displayed, and the Automated Fare Collection service, both offered by Rail Agency.
“RTA firmly believes that the public is the cornerstone of services development drive and was therefore keen on enhancing the interaction with the public in Gitex 2009 through offering a laptop with all accessories in a daily raffle starting from the second day till the final day of the exhibition, in coordination with Dubai e-Government. Participation in the draw is open for those who used the online services such as the renewal services of driving licenses & vehicle registration, and online payment of parking fines.
