Dubai Metro Train

Dubai is now in the league of ‘mega cities.’

The aim of the Metro system is to provide an integrated public transport system to ease congestion, save travelling time for passengers, reduce traffic pollution, improve mobility within the city, provide a swift connection to Dubai International Airport and important business and commercial hubs, and deliver a modern, comfortable, reliable and safe mode of commuting.

“It took some 30,000 workers, five big contractors and 150 [other] contractors to complete and make it possible to launch the project on schedule,” Al Tayer said.
