  1. Yes i also in favour of 24/7 but after 1am till 5am the duration between trains should be 30 minutes so that each train should be moving with full capacity ( that will be economically good for RTA)

  2. I am writing to request the implementation of a 24-hour service for the Dubai Metro. Extending the operating hours would greatly benefit residents and visitors, enhancing accessibility and convenience. Your consideration of this proposal is highly appreciated.

  3. Most europeans have the weekend off, which is Friday Saturday Sunday, so why only Friday till 01:00, or at least 24h on the weekend.. would be Great

  5. We are waiting for a good news from Dubai metro starting 24 hr Dubai metro ..every 1hr after midnight also comfortable becouse less passengers have after midnight. 😊

  6. Please make metro service 24 hours. At least the Red line, to start.
    It will be helpful more to people who arrive by late night flights.
    The queue for the taxi at the airport past midnight is too much. Ordinary people can’t afford the rates.
