Dubai Metro has transported more than 88 million passengers during the first half of 2015. According to Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Dubai Metro’s red and green lines have cumulatively transported 88.25 million passengers in January – June, an increase from 81.4million over the same period last year.
The Dubai Tram also became more popular, transporting 1.85 million passengers in the first half of 2015.
“The rising numbers of Metro and tram passengers during the first half of this year are a clear indicator that these two transit modes have commanded the attention of the residents and visitors who have made them their primary mobility means within the emirate of Dubai,” Mohammad Al Mudharreb, Director of Rail Operation at RTA, said.
Urban railway transport has become attractive to passengers, thanks to the “smooth, enjoyable and secure rides on these modes to various commercial or residential destinations in Dubai”, Al Mudharreb added.
