Musk partners with Dubai for rapid underground transport
Khaleej Times
|February 14, 2025
An ambitious project to connect Dubai's most densely populated areas will see the emirate partnering with Elon Musk. Spanning over 17km, the project will have 11 stations and will have the capacity to transport 20,000 passengers per hour.
The announcement of the project named 'Dubai Loop' came on Thursday, Day 3 of World Governments Summit (WGS) 2025 during a session when Musk was speaking virtually with Omar AI Olama, UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications.
Later, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid AI Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, tweeted more information about the project, which he said would "revolutionise transportation" in the emirate. He said the city will continue to "redefine the future of transportation, both above and below ground" and set global benchmarks.
