Middle East Online

A write up on Dubai Metro.

While the majority have still not lapped up the same, Government is going ahead with the rest of the project ( at a huge cost). All credit to Government, for staying on course. . .
Govt needs to work on the connectivity with localities and the stations, to make it convenient for the commuter, esp during the hotter and always-humid conditions...

Of course, a push on awareness on pollution will help too.

The commuter needs to look at his carbon-footprint too...

PS - Stating the obvious, I felt. No depth in the article. As the world moves to environmentally sustainable models in all areas, we commuters in Middle East should move to public transport too. Surely, a hidden demand waiting to be tapped ! Dubai's Metro is a brilliant example, how people have accepted it wholeheartedly.
