Until yesterday, the RTA had maintained that all the stations would open

Gotta love it, how they've started changing their story, typical Dubai. Orginally they said all pedestrian bridges will be ready by February. We are in March now. How many of them are ready? How about zero?

I don't care about the actual metro, just finish the bloody bridges. I almost killed myself trying to get across SZR the other night. ha!

Hahahahaha, nice one

Yes, CA gets himself into trouble sometimes.

I have always been of the opinion that the metro was doomed to fail from the outset.

I mean, did they really think the first class carriages would be full of expats - please they need to get a grip on the reality.

Ah sorry i forgot reality is in short supply in Dubai.

If you were a clerk from 9 to 5 and need to reach your office in J. Ali eather in 2 hours by car/office bus or in 30 minutes by Metro the last one would be full in traffic like in many other big cities.

To be frank this elevaited train line along SZR doesn't look very expensive among pedestrian bridges.

Yeah many would opt for the Metro. But will there be residents still in Dubai when it opens?

The metro is only useful if your home and your office is right next to the stations, unless they figure out a way to make the buses be on time.

There are a lot of jobs in J.Ali. At the other hand if a city has an extensive mass transit railway, bus'es network is changing having one terminal near metro station... So bus system will be only for delivery to the nearest metro station.

Of cause more extensive network means more convinient and mass.
Only a few old cities in Europe like London, Paris, Barcelona and Moscow has the system you are dreaming...
