The Dubai Metro turns three today. Inaugurated on the 9th second, of the 9th minute at 9pm on September 9, 2009 and marking a historical moment for Dubai. Over 184 million passengers have used Dubai Metro since its inauguration. The Dubai Metro project is the brainchild of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. “The Dubai Metro is also viewed as an iconic addition to the landmarks and high-flying achievements of the Dubai Emirate, particularly as it used the cutting-edge technology of the rail industry and carved a niche for itself as the world’s longest driverless metro project.”
