The Sharjah Executive Council has approved a proposal submitted by the Sharjah Transport Corporation (STC) to pay 5,085 citizens who own taxi license plates in the emirate an annual bonus of AED 5,085 million which is equal to two month pay.

STC’s Assistant Director General Arhama Majid Al Shamsi said the bonus reflects the keenness of H. H. Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah to provide decent living standards to the citizens.

He added that payments made to the taxi license plates owners during the first half of this year totaled AED 16.2 million.
