Leading the way in pioneering public transportation initiatives, Emaar Properties PJSC has unveiled plans for an advanced tram system for its AED 73 billion (US$20 billion) Downtown Burj Dubai flagship project.

The 4.6 km Downtown Burj Dubai Tram System tramway has a development value of AED 500 million, and will be the first of its kind in Dubai by offering two synchronized services within one tram transportation system.

The Downtown Burj Dubai Tram System will be developed in line with RTA’s Vision for the Dubai Strategic Plan and has been designed to meet the commuting needs of Downtown Burj Dubai’s residents and visitors. It will provide sustainable links for users to and from the development with Dubai Metro in a timely, comfortable and affordable way. The system, thus, creates an efficient transportation network to meet the demands of a mixed-use neighbourhood comprising over 30,000 homes, residential towers, nine world-class hotels and over 3.77 million sq ft of retail space.
