As far as I know, EK cannot do away with the transport altogther as someone theorised. It's a gov't requirement here, just like it is for the busloads of jinglies you see over-turned on the SZR from time to time. Only difference is we only squeeze two pax in.
Pretty sure you're incorrect here. My wife does not get driven to work and I have friends working in DXB who are doctors, engineers and mid-level executives at several companies who do not get driven to work.
