“47 months ago about the extension of the Dubai Metro red line at a cost of 11 billion dirhams .. Today we are launching our project .. 50 trains .. 7 stations .. 125,000 passengers daily .. 12,000 engineers and technicians and 80 million hours of work to complete our work on time as we promised .. we say what we do .. and we do what we say .. this is Dubai”

The project costs a whopping AED 11 billion and is the hard work of 12,000 engineers and technicians, 50 trains, 7 stations and  80 million working hours. “We say what we do, and do what we say, this is Dubai,” Sheikh Mohammed tweeted. On that note, here are 7 Dubai Metro Fines You Need To Be Careful Of.

The Dubai Metro Route 2020 will take passengers from Dubai Marina to the Expo site in under 16 minutes. The 15km extension will link the Nakheel Harbour and Tower station to the Expo 2020 site, while passing via Dubai Investments Park, Discovery Gardens, Al Furjan and Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Besides, all the seven new stations will be equipped with smart fare gates that will sport 3D cameras, for safety reasons. Unlike the regular barrier gates, the 3D camera will scan passengers and estimate if they require more time to cross the gate.
