The Dubai Metro was inaugurated by the Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

The metro first operated on 9 September 2009. In the 14 years since its inception, the Dubai metro has travelled 1.5 million kilometres!

In only a few years, the Dubai metro progressed with leaps and bounds i.e, extended rails lines, new routes, stations, as well as additional trains.
