In Dubai, one of the most fascinating features in public transportation is the Dubai Tram. The Dubai Tram is an essential part of Dubai transport network.

Generally, Trams are one of the safest modes of public transport in the world.  

What exactly is a Tram?

A tram is similar to a train in many ways. It runs on a railway-like line called a tramway. Just like trains, it consist of a series of coaches/carriages/vehicles. Trams usually run from a tramway to a railway line. It can also be modified to have the speed of a train.

The Dubai Tramway

The Dubai Tram is a tramway located in Al Sufouh. The tram service links Dubai Metro and the Palm Monorail and runs along Al Sufouh Road and Jumeirah Beach Road. It provides access to destinations such as the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers.

The tram runs for 14.5 kilometres (9.0 mi) along Al Sufouh Road from Dubai Marina to the Palm Jumeirah and Al Sufouh. It takes about 42 minutes to run from Al Sufouh to Jumeirah Beach residences.

In Dubai, to board and ride in a tram, you would need to pay with a Nol card. You can purchase one at any of the tram or Metro stations. A Nol Card can be used by passengers to check-in and check-out of the tram by scanning (tapping) the card at the platform screen doors.

The Tram has a fixed fare of AED 3 (N300) per ride, regardless of the distance travelled. But if you're paying for a ticket with cash,  you would have to pay at a premium.

The trams run every 10 minutes during peak hours and 12 minutes at all other times. A trip along the entire route takes about 40 minutes.

Dubai Tram is fully automated. It provides a vast number of features and services for the convenience of the users. For instance, it is air-conditioned; it has Wi-Fi access throughout its network. It also has a complete mobile phone network. There is also dedicated Tram police to enforce rules.

So, if you’re visiting Dubai, and you plan to stay in Al Sufouh, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeira, etc., you might need to use the Tram.

The Roads and Transport Authority, commonly known as RTA, a major independent government roads & transportation authority in Dubai coordinates the function of the Dubai Tram.

this is laughable everything in Nigeria is archaic so we shouldn't expect something like this even in the next 50 years.

Greedy leaders It's obvious

This type of mode is for countries that are not in sleeping mode..... Naija still dey sleep

If you ask me, na who I go ask?

Selfish and greedy politicians will not allow it work

The money for this kinda project is chilling in a politician's garage

Nigeria wey still dey use locomotive trains.
No be for here we see train wey Dem dey push so e go fit start

We are in unfortunate situation here, the whole system is fked up, we need a whole system overhaul to have those things we see in organised clime.

Something like this was planned for Lagos city by then governor jakande but the then mother fvcking tribalistic, uneducated, myopic and vision lees dull idiot military head of states nipped It in the bud.

Nigeria is behind,pretoria has ds kind if bus stop shelater and Morocco owns this kind of tram but dubai owns both and u said eko dun mabonle

we never maintain a train , talk less of trem

we never maintain a train , talk less of tram

be like you just land Nigeria from Dubai, better forget the things you saw there and focus, buhari is still president in case you have forgotten

lol!...These type of Infrastructures can Only be initiated and maintained in Countries with Sane Leaders...and Nigeria does not have sane leaders at the moment.

Metro we have been battling to finish for years now with snail progress na this one we go fit do? Abeg get realistic joor

Na who we offend?

Would be grateful if i could see somone to help me gain work experience in an oil firm or related field.....that would be my greatest xmas gift...


PS i studied Metallurgical and Material Engineering and currently awaiting NYSC.I am willing to relocate to part of the country.

Nigerians will still climb on top like they do on Train.

Ordinary construction on BRT lanes across major part of Lagos is like traveling to Mercury.

The problem of Nigeria is a blessing to our political leaders.

Good night.

U go drive keke taya

We need donkey for transportation self,shebi Jesus uses 1

Agbero will still collect their usual

We need technocrats to be in charge for constructive development to take over in Nigeria...

Politicians have caused more damage than development to our dear nation.

egopersonified:
be like you just land Nigeria from Dubai, better forget the things you saw there and focus, buhari is still president in case you have forgotten

This is some funny Shi.

Only when those who steals public funds are skinned alive and their head chopped off with a chainsaw.

Nigeria will get to where Dubai is very soon.....in like 500years time.
