RTA shares potential routes the sky pods will take in the near future

The route will also accommodate the busy areas around the Burj Khalifa, Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC), City Walk and Coca-Cola Arena.
The RTA Director-General Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer said, "The signing of the agreement is part of the RTA's efforts to deploy autonomous transit means in line with the Dubai Self-Driving Transport Stategy aimed at diverting 25% of total mobility journeys in Dubai to autonomous transit means by 2030. The move corresponds to RTA's efforts to enhance the integration of mass transit modes, and offer a solution to the first and last-mile challenge; which helps riders reach their final destinations."
