Dubai in the UAE - United Arab Emirates, built a subway system in 2010.


The Dubai Metro (in Arabic: مترو دبي) is a driverless, fully automated metro network in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. The Red Line is almost fully operational, the Green Line is under construction with trials commenced in October 2010, and 3 further lines are planned. These first two lines run underground in the city centre and on elevated viaducts elsewhere.[2] All trains and stations are air conditioned with platform edge doors to make this possible.

The first section of the Red Line, covering 10 stations, was ceremonially inaugurated at 9:09:09 PM on September 9, 2009, by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai,[3] with the line opening to the public at 6 AM on September 10.[4] The Dubai Metro is the first urban train network in the Arabian Peninsula.[5] More than 110,000 people, which is nearly 10 per cent of Dubai's population, used the Metro in its first two days of operation.[6] The Dubai Metro carried 10 million passengers from launch on 9 September 2009 to 9 February 2010 with 11 stations operational on the Red Line.[7]

    This metro, which locals even now claim was a huge waste of millions, was built by a FRENCH company

  • @Medifro No, Its a big project which will end by 2015, it covers many areas other then just king abdullah street. For detailed information about it you can look upto arab news.

  • @alishba01 I really doubt it man, not a metro but a small train in king abdullah's street in riyadh, thats pretty much it.

  • u should see the metro in Brussels it's garbage. Nice video, a lot like the MRT in Singapore...

  • @alishba01 LMAO... Yeah that goes back and forth for only 1/2 a kilo!! Like if its gonna make any difference by having that metro?? Should I remind you its gonna finish in 2050?? What a JOKE of a project ur talking about!! Dubai is waaay ahead of us!!!!
