Dubai has launched 40 fully air-conditioned rest areas across the city for delivery riders facing extreme heat. These centers provide seating, cool air, and basic amenities for riders who spend hours delivering food and parcels in 45°C temperatures. The initiative, spearheaded by Dubai Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), aims to safeguard worker health and well-being while enhancing productivity. Social media users have widely praised this human-centric approach. Officials emphasize the move reflects Dubai’s commitment to worker safety and efficient urban logistics management. Will other Gulf cities adopt similar solutions for labor welfare?
