6:30 shows the carriages to have a step to acces them, from the train station.

.

If there is wheelchair access to these carriages, and elevators, for wheelchair persons to exit to the street, would someone please confirm this? for me, thanks.

Cheers.

@MoilAndToil Hi thank you for your comment $ question, I did call the 8009090 for the RTA, & did ask them about the facilities for passengers using wheelchairs, they answered "if the passenger is alone, then we have an attendant for each carriage and also a security officers that will assist" &they did confirmed reserved spaces. moreover to answer the important question the ramp and the carriage elevation different is minor so it wont be a problem getting in.3:03 on the other video post :)

No, a homeland could be classed as a leader (as in leader of a boy-scout group, or ballet dance troupe), but not as a Father.

.

Father is unique; a leader may come and go according to the wishes of those following 'the leader'.

Read more books !

@MoilAndToil I guess the English translation was not getting the real Arabic meaning, in Arabic we say "Al-Watan" translated "home" we mean with it our country, our ancestor land, and in religion its very sacred, in better way of putting it" Homeland is sacred and important as our families ...etc" so the translator didn't do a good job :)

well I think it's great that they thought of everyone for maximizing the use of this mass transits solution.

The cabins arent segregated, you prick!. Its a choice. If conservative women dont want to share a cabin full of men, they can use the women only section.

Its the longest fully automated metro system in the world.

It is electric so reduces emissions.

It has the biggest underground station in the world.

It uses utilises the latest technology.

And it was all created in 4 years. No Western city could ever build it that fast. Or even afford to do so these days!

i think dubai should take rest from some stupid projects like metro talla buildings what ever because of this is waste of money ithink the main thing for a good nation is to spend money on the nation is like to make your banking sector clear from intrest money (riba) freebanking giving more jobs to the muslim world because abudhabi had no taller building but good projects and good vision and it is more beautiful from dubai and have good oppurtunitys

Dear Abdulrahman,

Thanks very much for going to the trouble to call and check on the situation.

Thanks for referring me to the second very good video, too.

I notice in it, that 2:00 shows an elevator sign for wheelchair users and 2:17 shows the level no-step entrance to the carriage, in addition to the time you kindly quoted.

Thanks for posting another very good video.

Cheers.

@alainet Dear Abdul.,

Thank you for your response.

You are quite right to highlight the difficulties with translation and interpretation; you have presented a very nice video with much information about such a lovely place.

.

Thank you for posting the video.

Cheers.

@alainet Dear Abdul,

Can you tell me if the new Metro System, for Dubai includes wheelchair users as passengers? please.

.

I could not see any provision for wheelchair users on the vt, that you commented upon, and so, seeing as you are a local, you may be able to tell me; may thanks.

cheers.

I wouldn't say that this country is "evil" but it is however true, that they wouldn't have achieved anything without the liquid money they have beneeth their feet.
