When is it scheduled to open?
Any maps of the planned / prospective stations?

Do you think it will be good?

It's overground, not underground.... and I think not 'til 2012???

i can't see how it will be good...the stations don't seem to be near to where people actually live, so how are they going to get to them...

Using the bus system and the funky new air-con bus stops????

oh yeah...those bus stops that have been in place without seats or aircon for about the last 3 months, lol...

JVR seems to like them well enough.... Isn't he back yet, incidentally?

oh and how they seriously hinder my cycling...jeez, they have just put them on the cyclepath...stupid

By all accounts there is an underground station in Bur Dubai

Ah. Dutch. Cyclopath. It all figures... Bet it keeps your thighs trim, too.

Map of the routes here: http://www.urbanrail.net/as/dub/dubai.htm

I expect it'll be bus or taxi (or indeed car) to the station. I wonder if some of the more outlying stations (e.g. Jebel Ali) will have car parks.

Will be handy if it makes the journey to the airport nicer, and reduces the taxi queue there

Us in Mirdif do not have an airport problem..

He's back on Sunday

and its a combination of Overground and Underground.
still nobody will use it!

yeah you do...the noise, lol...

Thats what I meant... and it just got worse, was wondering why the planes seemed lower and noisier, my neigbours villa is falling apart.. she says its due to the vibration as the new runway is open and its closer...

I know why...but I can't remember...anyway, it's only for a couple of weeks....oh, new tarmac, that was it
