Dubai Metro Sets Global Standard with Unprecedented Punctuality
Riding the Rails of Innovation and Excellence
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) proudly announces the Dubai Metro's exceptional 99.7% availability and punctuality rate, rising as a beacon of global public transport.
This remarkable achievement stems from the RTA's rigorous annual preventive maintenance program, which recently culminated in the full refurbishment of its 79-train fleet.
The result is a seamless journey for commuters, embodying a first-class travel experience.
In a bid to enhance urban mobility, Dubai plans to emulate cities like Paris and New York by establishing pedestrian-friendly areas.
This strategic urban planning initiative aims to interconnect these spaces with extensive public transport networks, thereby reducing car dependence and fostering leisurely walkable zones akin to Bluewaters Island.
Such progressive measures reflect the city's dedication to creating a more sustainable and accessible urban environment.
On the leadership front, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid has lauded the recipients of the Government Excellence Award, highlighting their pivotal roles in achieving governmental ambitions.
His emphasis on high standards and innovation underscores Dubai's commitment to progressive governance.
