The National reported that a light rail network will be up and running in Abu Dhabi within 7 years, supported by a fast rail link between the capital and Dubai.

Mr Falah Al Ahbabi GM of Urban Planning Council said that a predicted growth of population in the capital to more than 3 million meant could not be sustained on private cars alone, and that the city would have its own metro by 2015. He added that “We know the urgency of this and know the demand coming in future. We want to see this up and running and it is a must to see it up and running within 7 years. What I can say is this is definitely going to happen.”
