Etihad Rail And Uber Collaborate
They will also explore the possibility of integrating e-hailing services and creating an Uber-dedicated pick-up and drop-off area for passengers within stations.
The partnership will support Etihad Rail’s efforts to provide "accessible and integrated transportation across the UAE, including in areas with limited accessibility", said Nicolas Petrovic, Etihad Rail Mobility CEO.
"Public transit is the backbone of any city and is indispensable for moving more people around efficiently, preventing congestion, and limiting pollution," Frans Hiemstra, director and regional general manager, Uber Middle East and Africa, said.
"But the way people use public transport is changing, and technology has a big role to play in that to help us solve complex transport challenges."
