The government of Abu Dhabi is planning a tram system, as part of a broader long-term transport strategy.[1] In 2009, it was suggested that the tram system would enter service in 2014; as of 2024, construction has begun on the project.[2]
Network[edit]
A 340 km tram network is planned.[3] The network will have three lines,[4] focussing on the CBD, with connections to Reem, Suwa, Khalifa City A and B, Al Raha beach, and Saadiyat Islands.[5]
