Six more entry gates have been added at the Business Bay Metro Station following a marked increase in the number of metro riders, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority announced recently.
"The step has been taken in response to the growing footfall at the station, which is in line with the sustained growth in demand for the metro service in Dubai fueled by ever-increasing demographic and urbanisation rates in the emirate. The move also comes at a time where mass transit means is heading towards an exceptional demand from visitors and tourists especially on New Year's Eve," the RTA said.
Mohammed Yousef Al Mudharreb, director of rail operation at RTA's Rail Agency, noted: "About 506,345 riders used the entry gates at the Business Bay Station last November and 502,572 riders used the exit gates of the station during the same month."
