Rail Bus Dubai
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has unveiled a new rail bus project, promising a greener and more cost-effective transit option. The futuristic pods, 11.5m long and 2.65m wide, will carry up to 40 passengers at speeds of 100km/h. A prototype is on display at the World Governments Summit 2025 in Dubai (Feb 11-13). The RTA will conduct technical studies over the next two years before selecting pilot locations. Costs are expected to be 20-30% lower than similar transport systems.
