UAE has recently launched a state-of-the-art Automated Rapid Transit(ART) service in Abu Dhabi. ART service, the rail-less vehicle usually described as a combination of a bus and a tram, bears the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) markings 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 Electra Street. Currently, the eco-friendly, emission-free service ply in the city on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
In a recent move UAE has launched electric Tram that are 3 coach EVs for the streets of Abu Dhabi. The unique feature about these trams is that they run on a rail less track appearing to be an extended bus but in actuality is an electric tram. This cutting-edge service comprising of a three-carriage, air-conditioned electric vehicle now makes designated stops on popular routes and chimes as the driver waits for passengers to hop on for a ride.
The three carriage electric vehicles, have the capacity to comfortably transport up to 200 passengers. The seating arrangements are similar to what has been seen in Dubai Metro, with plush seats, straps for standing passengers, panoramic windows, and digital notification of stops. It seamlessly shifts lanes, just like a regular public transport bus.
In some places, there are dedicated slots for ARTs to stop; in others, it halts at the regular public bus stations. The stops have been marked with stickers on the pavement.
The improved rapid transport system operating without a mass transport train system or rails is a great addition to easing urban travel. It comes just ahead of a busy season when the Capital is set to host more than 150 events – the number which is going to get better with each passing month.
The ART service enhances urban mobility while offering the convenience of real-time tracking through Google Maps and Darbi app. QR codes on ART vehicles and select bus stops further facilitate access to detailed information, including service schedules and new destinations.
