Dubai, Feb 10 (V7N) – Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) has unveiled its new rail bus at the World Government Summit, with a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. This innovative mode of transport is designed to revolutionize public transportation in the city.

Details of the Rail Bus

According to Arabian Business, the rail bus is a light rail vehicle with a passenger capacity of 40 people. The vehicle is aimed at providing a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional transportation systems.

Collaborative Agreement

In January 2024, the RTA signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the American company Rail Bus Inc. during the Dubai International Project Management Forum. This agreement outlines plans for the rail bus to operate on a specially designed bridge that will generate electricity through solar panels to power the transport system.

Future Prospects

The rail bus represents a significant step forward in sustainable transport in Dubai, as it aims to reduce the city’s environmental footprint while offering a modern and cost-efficient public transport option. The project is expected to provide a glimpse into the future of green, high-speed urban transport.
