Hamdan tours Route 2020 Project, calls Dubai Metro backbone of city’s transport system

Dubai's transport infrastructure features the highest international safety standards and operational efficiency, Sheikh Hamdan said.

 

"Dubai Metro today serves as the backbone of the public transport system in the emirate, connecting various vital areas. The Metro has transformed the way Dubai's population travels within the city and plays a key role in supporting the city's sustainable economic development, reducing carbon emissions and helping enhance people's living standards,“ Sheikh Hamdan said.

 

By providing a convenient and viable means of mass transport, Dubai Metro has also had a positive impact on the economy. "Since its launch in September 2009, the Dubai Metro has served approximately 1.56 billion riders across 2.6 million journeys. With an on-time departure rate of 99.7 percent, the Dubai Metro ranks among the world's top mass transit systems,“ he said.
