Riding the Dubai Metro – Timelapse Video
The Dubai Metro (مترو دبي) is a rapid transit system in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The metro system consists of a network of two main lines: the Red Line and the Green Line. A third line, the Blue Line, is scheduled to open in 2029.
Dubai Metro is the first rapid transit train network in the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf Cooperation Council. It began operations on 9 September 2009.
The metro runs underground in the city centre and on elevated viaducts elsewhere. All trains are fully automated and driverless.
Both the trains and stations are temperature controlled and have platform edge doors. Dubai Metro has a total length of 89.6 kilometres (56 mi) and 55 stations, 35 on the Red Line and 15 on the Green Line.
