ASAS has firsthand witnessed
:
the remarkable transformation of Dubai's transportation landscape. From humble beginnings to a future-oriented vision, Dubai's land transport system boasts a fascinating narrative of continuous development that is backed by a long-term vision.
Early Days
: Foundations of Mobility in Dubai
Dubai's initial reliance revolved heavily on traditional modes of transport. Abra boats served as the primary means of navigating the Dubai Creek, while camels and horses facilitated travel across the desert terrain. The discovery of oil in the 1960s marked a turning point, triggering rapid infrastructure development.
The Road Network Takes Shape
:
The subsequent decades saw a surge in car ownership, necessitating a robust road network. The government established the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in 1995 to spearhead this crucial initiative. This period witnessed the construction of major highways like Sheikh Zayed Road and the expansion of existing ones. Along with this, there was robust growth in the logistics industry, concerning sea frieght, air freight and road freight! When Dubai started shaping itself as a global logistics hub, in-land and cross-border land transport also started gaining its foothold in this region.
Embracing Multimodality...
Understanding the need for a comprehensive ecosystem, the RTA implemented a strategic plan to integrate various transport modes, further strengthening the road networks in around Dubai. The turn of the millennium ushered in a new era of progressive transportation solutions, as well as creating a need for dedicated road transportation solutions that integrated well with Multimodality.
