Dubai Expats Guide to Metro

get a taxi!

The Dean

Yea - changed economic circumstances means the old 'I-had-to-wait-over-an-hour' chestnut is a thing of the past. Last time I was in Dubai I had three empty taxis fighting each other to pick me up.

Give it a chance folks!

If I lived right by a metro stop and worked right by a metro stop, I'd give it a chance.

But I don't. There's no incentive to take the metro anywhere in Dubai, not even for boozing, as I would still need to take a taxi from the metro stop to my villa. A year ago I might have even bothered to take the metro to go to the Creek in Bur Dubai as a means to avoid the intense traffic jams of the area, but that's disappeared thanks to the credit crunch.

if they want to make it suceed they need to vastly increase the number of buses and have a fully integrated public transport system (also get rid of the stupid rule with a few seats for women only) and then vastly increase taxatin on petrol and cars.

I ran a Mustang in Dubai and now don't even own a car in Singapore. the only annoying thing here is the surcharges on Taxis at certain times of day. I can't use a bus when I have hockey training due to the size of my hockey kit. I need to take 3 taxis which end up costing me 30 quid. thats a lot of money just to go training.

They also need to open more than NINE stations!!

You think we might be fortunate to see Japanese types on the Metro???

Ahh... The Clockwork Orange.. I used to have the garden flat right next door to Cessnock station.. I always called it Cessnock as no self-respecting Aberdonian would EVER admit to living in Ibrox...

so you lived beside the PRW then, you blue nose

TGFKASE

I certainly did.. One day even chanced having a pint in The District.. Durrant pics and shirts everywhere...

My local was in Tradeston, the Lord Nelson. I was there token sheep shagger. Was only allowed to drink there 48 weeks of the year, as was banned from attending said establishment the week before the Aberdeen- Rankers games, lest any pre-match ribaldry went too far...

Sandboy

so on a Friday it will only operate from 2pm ?
