Dubai’s extensive public transport network has played a major role in the city’s rise to prominence as a vacation destination. Buses, ferries, taxis, Dubai Metro, and Dubai Tram are just a few of the convenient modes of transportation that are accessible to ease the stressful commuters in the city.
The population of Dubai has grown significantly during the last 30 years. There are now many different ways to get about Dubai for residents and visitors thanks to the implementation of urban development plans. One such initiative that makes it easier for residents and visitors to navigate Dubai’s main hubs, such as JBR and Dubai Marina, is the Dubai Tram network.
Dubai Tram – an Overview
The Dubai Tram offers the highest level of convenience, security, and safety and is a vital component of the city’s public transportation system. The 11-station Dubai Tram is an easy way to travel between locations, with a route that passes by many famous sites like JBR and Dubai Marina.
Why was Dubai Tram Introduced?
Along Jumeirah Beach Road and Al Sufouh Road, the Dubai Tram was constructed to connect the Palm Monorail with the Dubai Metro. It passes through Dubai Media City, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Knowledge Park as it circles around Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence, and Al Sufouh Road. Since its November 2014 launch, the service has assisted in lessening traffic in well-known tourist locations. 52 million passengers have used the Tram in its first nine years of operation.
The RTA’s tram service is a cutting-edge, fully automated rail system that employs Platform Screen Doors along with alerts including beeping noises and flashing lights to signal when doors are opening and closing. Every tram features seven cabins, including a dedicated space for People of Determination as well as gold, silver, women’s, and children’s cabins.
