The $200bln project will put the United Arab Emirates firmly on the global railway map in a major boost for trade, commerce and sustainable passenger commute
Etihad Rail, the UAE’s ambitious railway project that seeks to transform the way people commute within the country and the wider region, as well as promote ease of conducting trade and commerce, is currently on a fast track towards becoming a reality. This futuristic rail network aims to incubate economic opportunities to the tune of $200 billion for the country, reports AlArabia English News.
Starting with the launch of the UAE-wide freight services and the announcement of a forthcoming luxury rail service in the region, Etihad Rail is making headway on the mega project first announced 14 years ago, with the aim of linking all the seven emirates and connecting the country’s major ports and logistics hubs.
