RTA inks deal to develop Sky Pod network in Dubai

DUBAI, February 13, 2019

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said it has signed a MoU with Skyway Greentech Company, one of the pioneering developers of Sky Pod worldwide.

The signing of the MoU is part of RTA efforts to come up with futuristic solutions to beat traffic congestion through the development of Sky Pods using Sky Pod technology, said a statement from the authority.

The technology is characterised by speed and security as well as saving of resources, thus contributing to RTA’s vision and strategy of ensuring safe and smooth transport for all.

Dubai Autonomous Transportation Strategy aimed at converting 25 per cent of total journeys in Dubai into autonomous journeys on various transit means by 2030.

It is also part of RTA’s efforts to enhance the integration of public transit means, said Abdul Mohsen Ibrahim Younes, CEO of Rail Agency after signing the deal with Pavel Skoypeda, the general manager of Skyway Greentech Company at the authority’s head office in Dubai.

"We have signed this deal in the context of RTA’s efforts to envision the future and deliver top-notch technology and services at world-class standards. It will pave the way for innovative mass transport and accordingly raise the ridership of public transit means; which in turn will ease the traffic congestion and enrich the lifestyle in the emirate,” remarked Younes.

He pointed out that the RTA move comes from its commitment to realise the National Agenda and increase the use of clean technology in the field of transport to ensure sustainability.

"It encourages citizens and residents of Dubai to use shared and mass transport through the development of sophisticated futuristic transit means, besides improving the sustainable transport network and systems in Dubai," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
