Dubai’s largest public parking operator, Parkin Company PJSC, has partnered with Glydways Inc. to roll out integrated parking and transport solutions at select locations.
Glydways is the company behind the driverless, small-vehicle transit system being explored by Dubai’s transport authorities to connect Metro stations with nearby destinations.
The collaboration aims to strengthen first- and last-mile connectivity, a key gap for residents who rely on the Metro but need quick links to offices, malls and residential clusters beyond walking distance.
Under the agreement, selected Parkin-managed sites will be converted into multimodal mobility hubs, serving as access points for Glydways’ autonomous vehicles, known as Glydcars.
These vehicles run on compact, narrow guideways and operate independently of road traffic, using lightweight structures that can be elevated or deployed at ground level. They offer direct, on-demand, non-stop rides to destinations.
The system is designed for high-frequency movement, enabling virtual platooning of more than 10 vehicles with a one-second headway. Each vehicle can carry four to six passengers and reach speeds of up to 50km/h. More
