To be served by 11 trains, each with five carriages divided into Gold, Silver and Family, the Dubai Tram is expected to serve 27,000 riders per day.
The first in the world to have platform screen doors at all 11 stations, the electrically powered tram is designed to be one of the safest across the globe.

Operating at a maximum speed of 50km/h, the tram will take 42 minutes for trip from Dubai Marina to Al Sufouh.
