In Dubai the newest means of transport is found.
Dubai as a Center of Innovation in the World has adopted the advanced transportation methods in order to improve the mobility, sustainability, and tourism. Some of the most recent transport developments that changed the city are presented below:
1. Hyperloop
Dubai has embarked on Hyperloop to be the first city to establish a travelling system based on the use of the vacuum tube to propel the pods through the tube at an average speed of 1000 km an hour. The Dubai-Abu Dhabi Hyperloop which is yet to be completed will see the reduction of time spent between the two cities to 12 minutes. Hyperloop One with Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is one of the projects that would make a change in inter-emirate transportation in 2030.
2. Autonomous Vehicles
The RTA of Dubai is also introducing driverless cabs and transport buses to pursue the objective of introducing 25 percent of all commutes as driverless in the year 2030. The technology of self-driving pods, as it was tested in the area of Business Bay in Dubai, provides last-mile connectivity rendered environmentally friendly. Moreover, the RTA has also implemented autonomous air taxis (eVTOLs), the testing of which is carried out by such companies as Volocopter. Use of these electric verticle flights will help in reducing traffic in the city by taking people by air.
3. Sky Pods (uSky Transport)
Dubai is also looking out at hovering transportation infrastructure such as uSky, in which electric pods move on the top of the tracks. These pods are urban short distance service and because of this, they minimize road traffic and create a scenic beauty of the place. An initial pilot project is being carried out in such regions as Dubai Silicon Oasis, and eventual spread is in the works.
4. Flying Cars and Drones
Dubai is trying out flying cars as well as passenger drones to develop the ecosystem of the futuristic mode of transport. In collaboration with other technological players in the world, these will be incorporated in the RTA city skyline, and they promise great commuter services, with the experience earned through them being very special even to the tourists. There has been the trial of drone taxis which can transport passengers in a short distance.
5. Water Transport and Metro Enlarged
The Dubai Metro is the most developed system of driverless metro in the whole world and the new lines are projected in 2025 or later. Also, there are some green water taxis and abras (traditional boats) with solar panels which are instituted to improve the connection in two lines Dubai Creek and the marina.
These developments follow the vision of Dubai to be a smart city and the top priority in Dubai is to be sustainable, efficient, and offer the best experience to any visitor.
