With 9 elevated and 5 underground stations and modern amenities, the Blue Line sets new benchmarks for urban transit in the region
More than 500 engineers and experts, supported by 3,000 workers across 12 sites, are working to deliver this world-class transit link
The Blue Line will significantly boost connectivity across nine key districts projected to accommodate over one million residents by 2040
Key among these is the closure of the road leading to the multi-storey car park at Centrepoint Station from Airport Road.
The new lines reduce travel time and make daily trips more efficient during peak periods
The ambitious initiative saw the installation and replacement of around 9,000 signs, requiring approximately 11,000 work hours
Since 2006, the share of journeys made using public and shared transport has increased from 6 per cent to 21.6 per cent by the end of 2024
The project is part of RTA’s Strategic Plan 2024–2030, focusing on passenger comfort, operational efficiency and customer satisfaction
Key traffic diversions have been introduced in the Mirdif area to facilitate construction, prompting authorities to urge residents to plan ahead
The updated name will also be integrated across RTA smart systems, mobile apps, and onboard audio announcements prior to station arrival
The revised schedule includes Customer Happiness Centres, paid parking zones, public buses, Dubai Metro and Tram, marine transport services, and service provider centres (vehicle technical testing)
Once complete, the station will serve up to 220,000 passengers per day
The process reduces manual inspections by up to 70 per cent and improves infrastructure assessment capabilities by 40 per cent
The Blue Line will transform mobility across nine key districts projected to accommodate over one million residents by 2040
The Dubai Metro Blue Line will significantly enhance mobility across the city by connecting key residential and commercial areas
The new name will also be reflected across RTA’s smart digital systems, public transport applications
It will help ease the pressure on the Red Line and improve accessibility between the older part of Dubai and the newer residential and commercial developments
Dubai Metro services will begin at 5am on January 12, three hours earlier than usual, to provide convenient access to and from marathon-related areas
Foldable e-scooters without seats will now be allowed on both the metro and tram, provided they meet specific size and weight restrictions
