Here’s how the ticket machines will look

Another glimpse into the future of UAE travel — media outlets also got a first look at the ticket machines that passengers will use at Etihad Rail stations once services launch.

While the machines were unveiled during the preview, key details including ticket fares, booking methods and where passengers will be able to buy or collect tickets are still under wraps for now, with more announcements expected closer to launch.

While Etihad Rail passenger services have yet to begin and are expected to launch later this year, media outlets were given an exclusive sneak peek inside the UAE’s first completed passenger rail station — including a first look at its facilities and the long-awaited passenger train itself.

Set to revolutionise the way people travel across the UAE, the 900-kilometre rail network will stretch from Al Sila in Abu Dhabi’s western region to Fujairah on the east coast. Once operational, passenger services will connect 11 cities and regions across all seven emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Al Ruwais, Al Mirfa, Al Dhaid and Ras Al Khaimah.
