Asked whether Dubai considered introducing new taxes, Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, a member of Dubai's Executive Council and the emirate's police chief, said: "There will be no taxes at all."

"If necessary (raise the) Salik (toll). Not for income, but to solve the heavy traffic problems," Tamim told Reuters on the sidelines of an event.

I've been told that salik will be 7,00 dhs soon... But I don't know if this is correct or not...a friend of mine told me.

I like the part where they say no new taxes, but maybe a higher toll ... its all semantics, isn't it?

Where is the ***DISLIKE*** button on this forum! Although this sort of ill considered response and implementation of a strategy to solve a perceived problem without of course the necessary or adequate research and consultation is very common here...

"Solve" the heavy traffic problems??? How will diverting traffic to smaller roads clogging up the city everywhere BUT SZR solve the problem? It's ok to say "Use SZR as all the traffic will be elsewhere" but that's not a lot of sodding use if you can't even get to SZR because of the traffic. Another well-thought out strategy.
