Dubai's transit authority says work on the city's partially completed metro system is proceeding on schedule and contractors are being paid.
The statement Thursday comes in response to media reports saying that the project's Japanese-led consortium plans to delay work on the Arab Gulf's first rapid transit line because of a dispute over late payments.
Dubai opened part of the metro system in September, but only about a third of the initial line's stations are operational. The remaining stations on the 32-mile (52-kilometer) red line are due to open by February.
The emirate has said the metro's first two lines will cost $7.6 billion, about 80 percent more than originally planned.
