15 RTA drivers get paid-for Mecca Umrah trip

DUBAI // The Roads and Transport Authority has arranged an Umrah trip to Mecca for 15 of its bus drivers.

The move is part of the RTA’s commitment to improving drivers’ job satisfaction and its wider role in social responsibility to its employees.

The trip was sponsored by The Tanzifco Emirates LLC, which is one of the RTA’s service providers.

The selected bus drivers were escorted during their pilgrimage by an RTA team to meet their needs in terms of good hotel accommodation, transportation and catering.

The drivers chosen had five years or more service as well as having accident-free records over two consecutive years.
