Watch: Rail-less electric rapid transit system vrooms on streets of Abu Dhabi City
- 8 months ago
Have you seen the modern and sleek Automated Rapid Transit (ART) service introduced on the streets of Abu Dhabi City? Over the weekend, a three-carriage air-conditioned electric vehicle has been halting at certain stops on popular streets and making a chiming sound as the driver waits for passengers to hop on for a ride.
ART service, the rail-less vehicle usually described as a combination between a bus and a tram, bears the markings of the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT). It was first introduced on Yas Island and Saadiyat Island and has now started serving the mainland. In what is expected to be the new phase of Abu Dhabi’s futuristic smart mobility project, the ARTs are operating between Reem Mall and Marina Mall via Zayed the First Street fondly known as the Electra Street. Currently, the eco-friendly emission-free service ply in the city on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
