Dubai Metro’s increasing popularity has meant that more people are switching from cars to trains for their daily commute, helping Dubai reduce up to 943 tonnes of carbon emissions every day.
According to the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), which celebrates Dubai’s ninth Public Transport Day on Thursday, Dubai Metro helped reduce 341,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) in 2017, enough to light up 46,000 homes for an entire year.

As the RTA celebrates its 13th anniversary on Thursday with a series of activities and prizes designed to encourage more people to choose mass transit means for their daily travel, we offer you an insight into the impact its biggest project has had so far.
One of the biggest infrastructure and mass transit projects in the region, Dubai Metro has revolutionised the way both residents and tourists move around the city, while also playing a significant role in conserving energy and reducing carbon emissions.
