In anticipation of heavy traffic from December 31 – January 1, because of the New Year’s Eve celebrations, the Roads and Transport Authority announced earlier last week that the metro will run for 24 HOURS on these two days.

So skip all the heavy traffic and use the public transportation facilities to commute around the city – saving yourself from waiting and crying in the heavy NYE traffic jams.

Red Line trains between Rashidiya and DMCC stations will run from 5am on December 27 to 3.30am the following day. Similar timings will be kept for the Green Line, which runs through Deira and Dubai Creek.

Both the Red and Green Lines will operate for 24 hours on December 31 and January 1

Although, the Red line will only operate from DMCC to Rashidiya during this period.
