Dubai: After the test run for two months, three to four trains will start arriving every month beginning in June. Around 44 trains will run on the Red Line at the time of its launch.
Once fully operational, a total of 79 trains will run on both lines of the Metro, including 62 on the 52.1-km Red Line and 17 trains on the 22.5-km Green Line. The interior design of the trains is based on a water and air theme.
Every train will have three classes - Golden Class, Women and Children's Class and Silver Class. The Silver Class, which is the economy class, will be given four out of five compartments.
The Women and Children's compartments will have plenty of space for strollers and bags to ensure a safe and comfortable journey for women and children.
The Silver Class has been finished in a combination of blues and greens. Seating is arranged in a variety of ways. Safety measures have been taken for both seated and standing passengers. There will be six wheelchair spaces in every train.
Train compartments will be equipped with audiovisual devices such as LCD screens. Trains will also have a Wi-Fi internet facility.
