Unprecedented Rain Disrupts Dubai Metro Services
Dubai Metro services faced severe disruptions amidst unprecedented rainfall on Tuesday, nearly halting operations and leaving approximately 200 commuters stranded across various stations.
For those intending to utilize the Metro today, careful journey planning is advised. Service interruptions may persist as the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has scheduled maintenance for Wednesday, April 17, affecting stations along the Red and Green lines. This maintenance will impact station operations and Metro schedules.
To assist passengers, free shuttle bus services will be available at affected stations.
However, Dubai Tram continues to operate on its regular timetable.
For commuters relying on the Dubai Metro today, here's a breakdown of operational stations on the Red and Green lines:
Red Line:
Operational stations include:
- Centrepoint Station to Business Bay Station
- Jebel Ali to Expo 2020 Station
- Centrepoint Station to GGICO Metro Station
- BurJuman Station to Business Bay Station
The RTA has restored services at four stations: Emirates Towers, Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall, Financial Centre, and Business Bay, with gradual reopening of other stations underway.
Green Line:
Operational stations include:
- Etisalat station to Abu Hail
- Creek station to Al Ras
Free shuttle services are provided for commuters needing access to affected stations.
Approximately 200 commuters were stranded at Jebel Ali Metro Station due to the suspension of operations towards Centrepoint, lacking access to amenities for hours.
As heavy rains persist, commuters seek clarity from service providers on the resumption of Metro services. One resident expressed frustration, citing closed Zoom stores and clogged toilets amidst the uncertainty.
