Etihad Rail Unveils High-Speed Passenger Rail Service

A high-speed passenger rail was unveiled on Thursday, Jan. 23, which will slash travel time between Abu Dhabi and Dubai to 30 minutes. 

The announcement was made in the presence of the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed and the Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed.

The train will run up to 350kph on a route that will pass through key destinations and tourist attractions. 

The announcement on Thursday revealed the passenger stations for the rail service, which will be Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Fujairah.

The station will integrate metro and bus lines and will have business-class lounges, shops and family-friendly amenities.

The start date of service and fares for the service have not been revealed yet. Nonetheless, the rail service is expected to reduce emission rates and congestion on roads in addition to reducing travel time. 

This rail service is separate from the previously announced Etihad Rail passenger service, which will travel up to 200kph, carry up to 400 passengers, and use the same route as the freight trains.
