Dubai Trolley: Downtown Dubai’s new tram

In 2015, Downtown Dubai will get Dubai Trolley, a world-class trolley tram system.

Launched by Emaar Properties, the Dubai Trolley will span a distance of seven kilometres and will connect passengers to iconic attractions in Downtown Dubai.

“Dubai Trolley is a smart urban mobility service that further builds on the trolley tram systems that are in use in several cities across the US and Europe,” explains Ahmad Al Matrooshi, managing director of Emaar Properties, in a press statement. “While they were a game-changer in public transport when first invented in the 1880s by introducing a new concept to urban mobility, they are now largely used as tourist attractions.”

Expected to be completed in early 2015, the first phase of the Dubai Trolley will cover a distance of one kilometre and will have three stations that will offer passengers easy access to The Dubai Mall, The Address Downtown Dubai and Vida Downtown Dubai hotels.
