Aiming to promote more sustainable and convenient travel across the UAE, the 900-kilometer-long rail project will connect 11 cities across the seven emirates. With a maximum speed of 200 km/h, each train will accommodate up to 400 passengers.
By 2030, the rail project is expected to transport around 36 million commuters every year.
More destinations and timings are yet to be announced.
