Etihad Rail offers 50% discount for children, 20% off seniors

Etihad Rail has set out the passenger categories eligible for fare discounts and exemptions under its Passenger Charter, offering half-price tickets for children, discounted travel for senior citizens and free journeys for infants as the UAE prepares for the wider rollout of passenger rail services. Under the fare and discount policy published by Etihad Rail, children under the age of 18 will receive a 50 per cent discount on all fares. Passengers may be asked to present valid identification to confirm their age, while any child under 14 must travel with an accompanying adult. Senior citizens aged 60 and above, including both UAE nationals and residents, will receive a 20 per cent discount on all fares. Adults aged between 18 and 59 will be charged standard fares unless another approved discount applies. Infants up to the age of two will be allowed to travel free of charge, provided they sit on the lap of an accompanying adult and do not require a separate seat. Etihad Rail urged passengers to carry identification documents when booking or travelling to allow age verification. Introductory fares on the Abu Dhabi-Fujairah route start from Dh55 in comfort class and Dh120 in premium class.
