Abu Dhabi Transport Company (ADTC) has launched a tram network that will connect Zayed International airport (AUH) with nearby areas, including Yas Island, Al‑Raha Beach and Khalifa City.
The project was showcased at the recently concluded GlobalRail event in Abu Dhabi.
Referred to as Abu Dhabi Tram Line 4, the project will be delivered in three phases.
The first phase will connect AUH with Yas Island and the residential areas of Al‑Raha Beach.
The project will feature a main depot near the Etihad Airways headquarters.
Future phases will extend towards Khalifa City and serve additional destinations across Yas Island.
Construction of the first phase is expected to start next year. The tram is slated to begin operations by 2030.
ADTC was established in 2023 to implement, operate and develop transport systems in rural and urban areas across the emirate.
The company is responsible for developing rail systems and related services and operations, and providing integrated transport services, including vehicle and bus rental.
ADTC was established by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan in his capacity as Ruler of Abu Dhabi.
