The Metro network will be fully integrated within the overall Public Transit network operated by the Dubai Municipality Public Transport Department. Bus routes and stops will be organised around the backbone provided by the rail system, extending its reach into all communities in Dubai. Taxi stations and Park & Ride facilities will be included in key Metro stations to further enhance the central role of the Metro System.
Fare policies and collection systems will be common to the bus and rail networks, allowing seamless travel across the Dubai Public Transit network. Fare levels will be kept accessible to all users. The use of the recently introduced 'e-go' smart card will be generalised.
The Dubai Metro will be the most advanced urban rail system and its perfect and well-planned integration in the city will contribute to the unique image of the Emirate in the world. It constitutes a major step forward its future development. The Dubai Public Transit network will become the backbone for the touristic, financial and economic growth.
Dubai Municipality has identified the need for an Urban Rail Transit System to supply additional transportation capacity to relieve growing traffic, and support the city's continuing development and visionary image.
Following the decision to move ahead with the development of an Urban Rail Transit System, the next step is the development of the Preliminary Engineering study, which should be followed by design and construction.
The Dubai Urban Rail Transit, or Metro, will be the latest in a large number of urban transit systems in prominent cities around the globe, such as Athens, Barcelona, Istanbul, Cairo, Tunis, New Delhi, Bangkok, Kaohsiung, Santiago de Chile or Vancouver.
