Keolis MHI proudly extends its heartfelt congratulations to the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on the momentous occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Dubai Tram. This milestone not only celebrates a decade of exceptional service but also emphasises the tram's vital role in enhancing mobility and connectivity within the community it serves.

Since its inception, the Dubai Tram has significantly contributed to reducing traffic congestion and lowering carbon emissions, aligning with Dubai's vision for a sustainable future. The tram system has become an integral part of daily life for residents and visitors, providing a reliable and efficient mode of transport that enhances the overall urban experience.

The tram system serves key communities, particularly in Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) and Dubai Marina, connecting residents and visitors to popular destinations, shopping areas, and leisure facilities. With 11 stations along a 10.6-kilometer route, it provides seamless access to major attractions and integrates smoothly with the Dubai Metro at two key interchange points: Sobha Realty and DMCC stations. This connectivity significantly enhances travel efficiency, allowing passengers to enjoy a hassle-free transition between different modes of transport.

David Franks, Managing Director of Keolis MHI, stated, “The Dubai Tram is a significant achievement for our city, providing a sustainable alternative to road transport while actively contributing to reducing congestion and carbon footprint. We commend RTA for being a leader in public transportation in the region, setting the standards for excellence that others aspire to achieve.”

He added “With an ambitious goal to increase the share of public transport journeys to 25% by 2030, RTA has set a benchmark as a pioneer in public transportation in the region”.

As we celebrate this anniversary, we acknowledge RTA's leadership in implementing policies that encourage a shift from private vehicles to public and shared transport options. The ongoing initiatives aimed at optimizing traffic management and expanding public transport routes are essential steps toward achieving a greener future for our city.

Keolis MHI remains committed to working closely with RTA to continuously enhance passenger experience through innovative solutions that prioritize safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Together, we look forward to further strengthening our partnership and exploring new avenues to make public transport even more enticing for everyone in Dubai.
