RTA to rethink Dubai Metro network


Transport officials said today that the Dubai Metro network is being reconsidered in light of cancellations and delays to construction of developments across the emirate.

Officials said the need for some stations had lessened as projects the system was due to serve have since been put on hold.

Speaking today at a conference to announce the metro’s marketing campaign, officials were adamant the metro is on track to open in September.

But, a planned journey on the metro for members of the press today was cancelled at the last minute without reason.

“We are opening on 09.09.09 and we’re 100% sure of that date,” Peyman Younes Parham, director of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) marketing and corporate communications, said.
