The launch of the Dubai tram will contribute to the development of Al Sufouh

The launch of the Dubai Tram, which will take place in November 2014, will contribute to the development of Al Sufouh as a business and entertainment center. The length of the tram line that connects the Al Sufouh and Dubai Marina areas is 10.6 km, it will serve 27 thousand passengers a day, and by 2020 their number will reach 66 thousand. For the first time in the world, tram transport will use platform sliding doors that are fully synchronized with the mechanism for opening and closing car doors.

The system has already been tested in January of this year. The tram line will have 11 stops, which will facilitate access to shopping centers, hotels, office and residential buildings. The interval in the movement of trains will be 6 minutes. The line will be connected to the red metro line.

According to the leadership of the Dubai Committee for Roads and Transport, the tram line completely transforms the lives of those who live and work in the areas of Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Internet City, Media City and Knowledge Village. "The new transport will not only revitalize the areas and provide additional opportunities for safe and environmentally friendly movement, but also create a new" street "culture in Dubai," the committee said.
