Dubai: A delegation from Brazil headed by Julio Lopes, Secretary of Transportation of Rio de Janeiro and Mario Garnero, Chairman of Brazil Investments visited the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to learn about the transport system of Dubai and the Dubai Metro and Tram projects.
Abdul Majid Al Khaja, CEO of the Rail Agency gave them an overview. Al Khaja said, "The Dubai Metro project is one of the first metro projects in the world to be planned and executed within a short time frame.
