Project
The project was announced by Emaar Properties on 23 April 2008, with opening proposed for the end of 2009.[2] The total cost was put at AED 500 million.[3]
The line is being built in three phases which will eventually form a 7 km loop around Downtown Dubai.[1]
Phase I
Phase 1 opened in 2015. It runs in the median of the orbital Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, with three stops serving The Address and the Manzil Downtown and Vida Downtown hotels.[1]
Phase 1 was originally planned to be a 1.1-kilometer (0.68 mi) double track express link shuttle service line operating between the Burj place interchange station with Dubai Metro and The Dubai Mall operational by end of 2009,[2] but was put on hold in July 2010.
Phase II
Phase 2 will include the full 4.6-kilometer (2.9 mi) loop, providing a single track, mono-directional clockwise commuter service operating to and from the Burj Place interchange station with Dubai Metro.[2] It is expected to serve all ten stations in the network's 500-acre (200 ha) development. The complete one-way journey time will take approximately 8 minutes. Opening was originally planned for 2010.
Trams
The heritage-style open-top double-decker trams built in the USA by TIG/m are powered by fuel cells, with batteries used to recover regenerated braking energy.[1]
