Etihad Rail Partners with Citymapper to Streamline UAE Travel
Navigating the UAE’s transit network has become significantly more convenient following a new partnership between Etihad Rail, the Citymapper app, its parent company Via, and United Trans. This integration allows passengers to map out their entire journey in one place, seamlessly combining train schedules with local transport options like buses, metro lines, and on-demand services. By offering a comprehensive view of their trip—from their front door to their final destination—the app removes the guesswork from commuting, ensuring that rail travel fits naturally into the daily routines of residents and visitors alike.
This collaboration follows the successful September launch of the national passenger rail network, which now connects major hubs including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Al Dhaid, and Fujairah. As the network continues to expand, with additional stops like the upcoming Liwa station set to open soon, the focus remains on enhancing the user experience. Officials from Etihad Rail, Via, and United Trans emphasized that this digital initiative is about more than just train tickets; it is about fostering a cohesive, intuitive transit ecosystem that empowers passengers to choose public transport with confidence and ease.
