Dubai to explore futuristic ‘sky rail’ project with Chinese company behind Chengdu’s panda express

Dubai has signed an early-stage deal with a Chinese 'sky rail' company to look at bringing a new transport network to the emirate.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Zhong Tang Sky Railway Group will explore "futuristic transport systems".

Zhong Tang group is behind a project that was trialled in Chendgu, which made headlines for its cute panda-themed carriages.
