Dubai Taxi Stands

There is a taxi stand near my flat. When I first moved into my flat, from about 9 a.m. until midnight there was always a long line of taxis waiting for passengers, sometimes for quite a long time. To avoid having to wait, many taxis would drive the side streets next to my flat so I wouldn’t even have to walk to the taxi stand.

Now I seldom see any taxis driving next to my flat, so I have to walk all the way to the taxi stand. And by ‘taxi stand’ is meant that there are always people standing there, waiting for taxis, sometimes for quite a long time.
