DUBAI METRO
Fast facts:
A design rendering of a station hub
In full operation, Dubai Metro is projected to carry approximately 1.2 million passengers on an average day, and 355 million passengers per year.
Trains are WiFi enabled.
The 32.5 mile Red Line will have 29 stations, some of which are underground.
Rolling stock is being supplied by Kinki Sharyo under a $456.2m contract for 385 cars.
All stations will have platform doors to increase safety and allow a more comfortable, climate controlled environment.
The driverless, fully automated trains are fully air-conditioned
The trains will offer standard ‘Silver’ class, a women and children only section plus a first class ‘Gold’ section for VIPs.
The “Gold” car will be located at front of each train and will be just for men (specifically, non-poor men). The “Silver” cars for the ladies and the rugates and the downtrodden will follow behind.
Gold cars will feature wide leather seats, an expansive view through the train’s front window, and an “exclusive lighting design.
