The second project includes the railway services for passengers, the passenger train will link 11 cities in the country from the commodity area to Fujairah.
The third project is: integrated transportation service, and includes the establishment of the innovation center in the transport sector, which will link trains with networks of light trains and smart transport solutions within cities to be an integrated alternative that serves all the state’s residents and visitors.
The total investment in the high-speed train project between Abu Dhabi and Dubai is about 40 billion dirhams “11 billion dollars” and aims to reduce the time of travel between the two cities to less than 30 minutes using high-speed trains that may reach a speed of 400-500 km/h. The high -speed train project between Abu Dhabi and Dubai is expected to achieve annual financial returns amounting to about 5.5 billion dirhams “1.5 billion dollars” of transportation fees, increased tourism, trade and logistical transportation, in addition to enhancing economic growth in the UAE in general.
