Salik Denies New Pricing Rumors Circulating Online

In response to a viral post spreading misinformation, Dubai's toll operator, Salik, has firmly denied any plans for the implementation of dynamic pricing for toll gates in the emirate. The misleading information, which quickly gained traction across social media, claimed that significant changes to toll fees were on the horizon. Salik’s CEO, Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad, has assured the public that these claims are unfounded.

Salik Clears the Air

The viral post in question laid out supposed time slots and toll charges, claiming “Be prepared to say goodbye to AED 4 Salik rates.” The note included details like zero charges between 3 AM and 5 AM, and higher rates of AED 8 from 3 PM to 7 PM. However, Salik’s CEO has been clear: none of these details are true.

"We wish to clarify that the publications being circulated on some social media platforms are inaccurate," Al Haddad said in a statement published by the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) on Wednesday.

Trust Official Sources

Salik is urging its customers and shareholders to avoid falling for unofficial information spread online. Instead, the company advises referring to official sources, such as the Dubai Financial Market and Salik’s own website (www.salik.ae), for accurate news and updates.

“We strongly advise customers and shareholders to refer exclusively to official sources, the DFM and Salik website, for any official announcements or updates,” said Al Haddad. “Salik is fully committed to adhering to the disclosure and transparency guidelines set by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) and DFM. As always, any significant information will be promptly shared with the market first once confirmed and finalised.”

The Importance of Accurate Information

Rumors on social media can easily create confusion, particularly regarding important aspects like toll pricing that impact daily life. Salik has made it clear that any official changes to toll rates will be communicated transparently through recognized channels, ensuring that everyone is informed in an accurate and timely manner.
