Letter Published In TheNational UAE on 23 Jan 26 Our readers have their say on the stories of the week January 23, 2026 I write in reference to John Dennehy’s article Revealed: Etihad Rail’s first passenger routes to link Abu Dhabi city, Dubai and Fujairah (January 20): over the decades, the UAE has witnessed dramatic development in all areas of life, especially in the transport system, including the Dubai Metro and other modes. This new rail connectivity between the emirates marks another major milestone in the country’s history. It will bring people closer together, enhance mobility and significantly boost trade and economic activity. We hope this long-awaited link will be launched soon and warmly welcomed by residents across the country. – K Ragavan, Bengaluru, India
