Residents and visitors at The Palm Jumeirah will now have better public transportation service, with one major station just opening up, Gulf News reports.
The facility provides easy access to residents at the Golden Mile and Shoreline Apartments, some of the popular residential locations at the man-made island. It is also within easy reach of the Golden Mile Galleria mall and Palm Jumeirah’s central park.
“Passengers using The Palm Monorail in Dubai can now board and alight at the newly-opened Al Ittihad Park station for easy access to Palm Jumeirah’s central park, thousands of residences [among others],” Nakheel says in a statement this week.
The monorail spans along the trunk of The Palm and connects the island with Dubai mainland. It opened on April 30, 2009, mainly transporting passengers who visit the Atlantis hotel.
