Hamdan bin Mohammed Expresses Joy and Responsibility Through MBZ Trust
The United Arab Emirates has launched its first passenger train line connecting Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The inaugural journey departed from Al Yas Station in Dubai at 6:16 AM and reaches Abu Dhabi in 64 minutes, significantly reducing travel time from two and a half hours by road to less than one hour. This step is part of the expansion of the national railway network, which includes operating 10 daily trips between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and 6 trips between Abu Dhabi and Fujairah, to enhance daily transportation options and provide an efficient alternative to driving. Al Yas Station, which was completed in record time, connects the Union Rail Network with Dubai Metro through a 400-meter pedestrian bridge. It offers integrated services including parking, buses, and taxis to support smooth mobility. The project aims to promote mass transit, strengthen economic and tourism linkages, and improve quality of life through a modern and safe transportation system. Once fully operational, it is expected to serve approximately 10 million passengers annually.
