UAE passenger rail network to launch next week
The UAE will launch its passenger rail network next week, connecting Abu Dhabi to Fujairah for 55 dirham ($15) trips. The route is part of the stalled GCC Railway project, aiming to link Gulf countries by 2030, with economic projections highlighting potential $40 billion gains from a high-speed Abu Dhabi-Dubai line and a planned Doha-Riyadh airport connection by 2031.
