Dubai's Etihad Rail passengers now have a convenient option to walk directly to the Dubai Metro, with a new pedestrian bridge connecting the Al Yalayis railway station to Jumeirah Golf Estates Metro Station largely open for commuters on October 15. The approximately 400-meter walk between the two stations typically takes around five minutes and eliminates the need for taxis or separate road journeys.
The enclosed walkway features travelators and stairs for easier transfers, especially for those with luggage. Shuttle buses are also available for those who prefer not to walk, with the journey taking less than two minutes. This development benefits Etihad Rail passengers, allowing them to travel effortlessly to areas like Dubai Marina, Business Bay, and Downtown Dubai via the Metro.
It also benefits residents traveling from other parts of Dubai, enabling them to connect their rail journeys with Metro travel. Etihad Rail inaugurated its passenger services between Dubai and Abu Dhabi on September 30, with a journey time of approximately one hour and fares starting from Dh39 for Comfort Class and Dh109 for Premium Class. Tickets can be booked through Etihad Rail’s official website or app.
