The Etihad Rail passenger service is slated to begin operations in 2026 and aims to connect 11 cities and regions across the UAE - from Al Sila in the west to Fujairah in the east. By 2030, it is expected to carry 36 million passengers annually. On his official X account, Sheikh Mohammed wrote: 'We have made the journey from Dubai to train will connect 11 cities and regions across the UAE…with a speed of 200 km/h. It is expected to carry 36 million passengers annually by 2030.'

The initial four passenger rail stations have been identified in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Fujairah. The Dubai station is expected near Jumeirah Golf Estates, and Fujairah's in Sakamkam, while Sharjah's will be close to its airport and University City. This phase forms part of the broader AED50 billion National Railways Programme, projected to deliver Dh200 billion in economic benefits over the next 50 years, including savings from improved logistics, accident reduction, urban planning enhancements, and tourism growth. The network is also expected to cut annual transport emissions by 21 per cent by 2050, equivalent to removing over 8 million tonnes of CO₂ per year.
