Gulf Rail Eyes 6M by 2030
The Director General of the Gulf Railway Authority, Mohammed Al Shabrou, said the Gulf railway project aims to carry more than 6 million passengers and 201 million tonnes of freight annually by 2030. Those figures are expected to rise to 8.5 million passengers and 271 million tonnes in 2045. Overall progress on the project—which spans more than 1,700 kilometres and connects the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries—has exceeded 55.9%. It is targeted to be fully operational by the end of December 2030. Passenger trains will travel at speeds of 200 to 220 kilometres per hour, while each country will bear the cost of construction within its own borders.
