This Is Everything You Need To Know About The New Route 2020 Metro Link
This week a delegation from the Road and Transport Authority (RTA) were in France viewing carriages for the new 15km Route 2020 Metro link.

The route will extend from the Red Line of Dubai Metro from Nakheel Harbour and Tower station all the way to the Expo 2020 site near the Al Maktoum International Airport, and it includes seven stations in total.
