Dubai, July 16, 2025 — As traffic congestion continues to plague the UAE, authorities are implementing a multi-faceted approach to address the growing issue.

Despite having world-class highways, the UAE faces severe traffic challenges, particularly during peak hours when key routes are heavily congested. In 2024, approximately 3.5 million vehicles were reported on Dubai’s roads daily, marking a 10% increase over the past two years.

This surge in vehicle numbers is largely attributed to the availability of inexpensive fuel, resulting in many cars being occupied by just one person.

Public transport is seen as a crucial solution to the traffic woes, with the Dubai Metro serving as a prime example. In 2024, the metro recorded over 275 million riders, significantly reducing the number of cars on the road. The upcoming Blue Line and additional tram connections aim to further enhance public transport options.

In addition to metro expansions, the Etihad Rail project is set to revolutionize inter-emirate travel, with services expected to launch next year.

The rail system will significantly cut travel times, allowing passengers to travel from Abu Dhabi to Dubai in just 30 minutes.

Experts emphasize the need for more non-road-bound mass transit solutions and improved infrastructure to accommodate the rapidly growing population.

With innovative projects like air taxis and potential underground transport options, the UAE is committed to developing a comprehensive transport network that meets the needs of its residents and visitors alike.

As the UAE continues to grow, the focus remains on creating efficient and sustainable transportation solutions to mitigate congestion and enhance mobility across the region.
