Dubai Metro Map 2022 Pdf Download

So I found it rather refreshing to experience the recently constructed metro system in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In fact, the Dubai Metro has something I had never encountered before, a first-class cabin. Or as the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority calls it, Gold Class.

Like first class on any train or airliner, Gold Class buys you extra room and amenities. However, it comes at a price. In this case, roughly double what someone would typically pay to ride in the metro's standard cabin.

Since Dubai's metro system is arranged into multiple zones, the cost of a ride can vary significantly. A ride on the metro in the standard Silver class within a zone could cost a little as 3 Dirhams or $0.81. On the other hand, a single ride Gold Class ticket valid to cross all zones costs as much as 19 Dirhams or $5.13.

I've been fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel around the world and experience many of the major metro/subway systems in operation today. In my opinion, Gold Class is simply the best experience I've ever had.

The Dubai metro has many features which cater to the visually impaired. For example, tactile floor paths guide these passengers from the station entrances to the platforms. There are clear audio announcements in English and Arabic.

Why are the Metro timings not connected with the shopping mall timings. I am retail sales staff. It is very difficult to pay taxi money when the metro is closed in the night. I have a very small salary.

Well the metro runs on electricity and the number of commuters beyond midnight is less or no more. So the train is stopped to cut costs and to also use that time for maintenance of the train to ensure effective movement during day.

Overnight parking is not allowed at the metro parking lots. Best to just take a taxi or bus to the station closest to you and take the metro the remainder of the way. It is also VERY expensive to park your car at the airport.

Ensure your husband does not stand with you or even cross through the Ladies Cabin. There is a stiff fine for any man doing so. Fines are levied on the spot at the metro station kiosk, and even an ordinary citizen can turn you in.

My number one tip when booking your hotel in Dubai would be to make sure your hotel is near a metro station. It is the best and safest way to travel around the city. You can get to almost all of the tourist attractions and best malls on the Dubai metro.

As a matter of fact, I supported your view for metro to start by 5am. This will go a long way in helping the people to reach their work places on time especially those that need to clock in by 6am. Also, it would be more appreciated if the train could start earlier on Fridays .

The metro is not very extensive so I think using a mixture of metro and taxi is the best bet. As Latimer says, very much depends on where you are staying and where you want to go. Also, June will be hot and humid so unless the metro station is very close to your hotel or you have an air-conditioned bus stop nearby it may not be a very appealing option.

You must have a very sensitive nose Slim as I've never noticed smelly people on the metro. And I've never been in a carriage so crowded that you end up with your nose in somebody's armpit as is often the way on the tube in London.

Thus the maximum expenditure for a family of 4 per day is AED56. All the major attractions(Shopping malls,Burj Khalifa,Burj Al Arab,Jumeirah mosque) are on metro/bus routes. There is always a feeder bus waiting for passengers at metro stations. You can see Dubai on metro/bus/abra without having to resort to taxi. The weather at the moment is also fantastic.

Ironically having resided in the UAE for 9 years, I have never found the right opportunity to use the public transportation, that is until last week! I had to pick up my car from the Traffic Department in Al Barsha, about 25km from the office, and my first thought was to search for a ride on Uber. After seeing the AED75 ($40) price tag, I thought of relying on Google Map to plot my way using the famed Dubai Metro. As it turned out, this would be my chance - the metro was to be 85% cheaper (one way fare cost AED10) and promised to bring me through the 13 stations to my destination in 32min!

Walking from my office in Garhoud near the airport to the nearest metro station took me about 15min. Arriving at the station, I was in awe at how futuristic and modern the station and trains are. Buying the ticket using the self-help touchscreen kiosks reminded me of those in Singapore, Bangkok and Tokyo. I chose the "Gold Class" ticket, which promised a better passenger experience, albeit at double the cost compared to the standard fare.

What I liked most about the metro was that I could simply enjoy the view and play with my mobile phone whilst doing away with navigating the notoriously busy Sheikh Zayed Road, even though I spent 25 more minutes compared to when I drive.

Much like how Singapore is trying to encourage its residents to go "car-light" and use more of its public transportation, I believe with the expanding metro system in Dubai and the standards it has achieved, the RTA and Dubai Metro would no doubt be a benchmark for the region to follow.

Would I give up a car to use the metro on a daily basis? Unlikely. But if my next home is next to a metro station, and now that I discovered how one is conveniently located next to my office, I would probably use it to commute to work (when it is not summer).

Alstom will provide and integrate the entire metro system that includes 50 metro trains, power supply, communication, automatic tariff control, roadworks, platform doors and a three-year guarantee throughout the system. In addition, it will improve the existing metro line by enhancing the power supply, communication systems and signalling on the track. The trains, capable of carrying up to 700 passengers each, will be 88 metres long and each vehicle will consist of five carriages.

The project also includes a train shed and a stabilisation area, and integrates a new railway system for automated control of Thales driverless trains and other new and old metro systems (such as trains, power supplies, communication systems, automatic tariff control systems, trackworks and platform screen doors).

The metro will be fully integrated within the network operated by the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), a body created in 2005. Routes will be organised around the backbone provided by the rail system.

Around 1.74 million passengers used the metro in its first month, according to the statistics released by the RTA. The average number of passengers travelling on the Red Line is estimated at around 180,000 a day. Green Line passenger capacity is estimated to be 100,000 a day.

The Red Line was the first line to be completed, in April 2010. The Green line was opened in September 2011. Two more lines are planned. The intention is for 320km of metro lines to be in place in Dubai by 2020. Dubai Metro is the longest automated driverless system in the world.

In service since 2009, the Dubai Metro is the longest driverless metro in the world, offering optimal life-cycle costs due to low maintenance overheads and operating costs. It is equipped with an entire package of Thales solutions including SelTracTM CBTC signalling solution.

Tokyo, September 10, 2009 - The Dubai Rapid Link (DURL), an international consortium including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), has completed the construction of Dubai Metro Red Line, a fully automated, driverless metro system, in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The system commenced operation on September 9 at 10 key stations. The other members of DURL include three Japanese companies - Mitsubishi Corporation (MC), Obayashi Corporation and Kajima Corporation - and Yapi Merkezi Insaat ve Sanayi A.S. of Turkey. The 53 kilometer-long Red Line (Phase I) runs between Dubai International Airport and Jebel Ali, a new area under development along the coast. The Dubai Metro is the first urban rail system in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council).

He said that the Blue Line will have the largest underground interchange station within the metro network, covering an expansive area of 44,000m2, designed to accommodate approximately 350,000 passengers daily.

Keolis-MHI is responsible for operating and maintaining the Dubai Metro Red and Green lines and operating the Dubai Tram. The company will run all metro and tram network assets, from trains and control centres to stations and associated infrastructure, delivering premium passenger transport services capable of handling large variations in passenger numbers.

The Aedas team thought they had missed out when its developer client in a six way contest failed to win the vast Dubai Metro contract. It was to be the world's largest and most advanced automated passenger transit project in the world, 74 km long, 45 stations, nine of them underground plus two depots and operational control centres. And it was to be the first urban metro network in the Gulf states. Aedas was comfortable with schemes of this size because the practice had designed very successful mass transit rail projects in Toronto, Kuala Lumpur, Delhi, Hong Kong, Singapore and elsewhere. Six weeks later the winning developer contacted them and said that they had liked Aedas's group of design concepts and could they talk.The Dubai Metro has two lines. The Red line extends from Dubai airport, across Dubai Creek, past the financial centre of the city and down to Dubai Marina. The shorter Green line, which is largely underground, serves the older Bur Dubai District along Dubai Creek opposite the Dhow Harbour.Each of the stations is based on two levels: the platforms on one, the ticket office concourse and retail franchises on the other with the level containing rail track and platforms typically above the ticket barrier level according to whether the lines are elevated, on the Red Line the most frequently occurring configuration. But the arrangement can vary for ground level and underground stations.In the 40 degree Celsius weather, trains are air conditioned and platform-edge screens maintain the integrity of conditioned air in carriages. Trains are driverless although there are trained warders to deal with emergencies and to police the various special carriages, among them the women and children-only carriage.In its search for form references, the team pondered the history and traditions of old Dubai and its heritage as a pearling village. The team attached to the idea of the rough outer surface of pearl shells and how different and smooth were the shell's interiors. With those broad ideas of shell and rough and smooth on board they began to explore appropriate shapes and what that might mean in terms of construction.The end solution was a cone-like shape from which the double ended armadillo-like shell was developed. Before this analysis it had been assumed that the structure would be a fashionable and efficient diagrid involving the use of a triangulated network of relatively modest steel members. A diagrid is most efficient when deployed for relatively big buildings. For the more modest scale of a Dubai Metro stations it turned out that the most economical solution which used a lot less steel was a row of hoop-shaped ribs spanning the platforms and tracks of each station which support curtain wall glazing and a skin of quadratic flat panels which wraps over the functioning parts of the station. 2351a5e196
