Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has unveiled a new Rail Bus project, set to change the way people move around the city. Designed to be efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective, this innovative transport system aims to ease congestion while reducing carbon emissions.
The Rail Bus is a sleek, modern transit vehicle designed to carry up to 40 passengers. It will travel at speeds of up to 100 km/h, making it a fast and convenient option for daily commutes. Each carriage will be 11.5 meters long and 2.65 meters wide, with comfortable seating for 22 passengers.
While RTA hasn’t confirmed exact routes, early design visuals suggest stops at key locations such as “Bustan District,” “Green Park,” and “Airport 1.”
Key Features of the Rail Bus
- Solar-Powered & Cost-Effective – The entire track will be lined with solar panels, generating clean energy to power the system while keeping costs low.
