New drive to improve transport services on Yas Island

Miral

Abu Dhabi's Integrated Transport Centre and the developer Miral have signed an agreement to boost Yas Island's infrastructure.

It's part of the efforts to support the Island as a top global destination.

The deal will explore options to improve public transport commuting in the area.

Researchers will look at the potential for on-demand services, including an "Abu Dhabi Link" for residents and visitors.

The emirate recently announced a similar scheme for several suburban districts.
