In a three-month trial, the mineral water will be dispensed through onboard water coolers and single-serve bottles. The taxis will be modified to fit the water coolers, which will be installed in the space between the driver and front passenger seats. The cost of water and bottles sold will be added to the meter charge.
According to United Arab Emirates online paper The National, the bottles will carry the logo of the Roads and Transport Authority and Dubai Taxi, along with customer service telephone numbers. If the scheme is deemed a success, more taxis will undergo modification.
