There will be six trains every hour that will head between Jebel Ali, The Gardens, Discovery Gardens and Al Furjan with a waiting time of 10 minutes between each train, according to the RTA. Meanwhile, 19 buses will also be accommodating the train stations, to help metro passengers get to other areas.
The trains will operate from 5am to 12am from Saturday to Wednesday, and 5am to 1am on Thursday and 10am to 1am on Friday.
