How are UAE residents reducing daily commuting costs despite rising fuel prices?

Many residents are making small but smart changes—like carpooling and using public transport—to significantly cut expenses. For example, a group commuting from Sharjah to Dubai reduced their daily fuel cost to about Dh5 per person by sharing one car instead of driving separately. Others are increasingly relying on the Dubai Metro using Nol cards, reserving their cars only for essential trips like client meetings. By mixing driving with metro travel, some commuters are saving up to Dh10 or more per day while also avoiding traffic and parking stress. These gradual adjustments—rather than drastic lifestyle changes—are helping residents become more cost-conscious and efficient in their daily routines. Do you think more people will switch to public transport and carpooling long-term, or will they go back to driving once fuel prices stabilise?
