As an expat in the UAE, I am truly blessed and thankful for the UAE authorities, RTA staff and attendants who work tirelessly to ensure the safety of the public. The authorities keep on reminding all Metro passengers to observe social distancing and wear face mask properly. I admire them for being responsible and for taking care of the wellness and safety of the public. Image Credit: Mark Arcigal @_markarcigal/Gulf News reader

As a photography enthusiast, I took some of the snaps in the Dubai Metro, and to capture the moments of the current situation. All passengers are wearing their face masks, I can see that they are still feeling comfortable commuting and using public transportation regardless of this pandemic. I can still see on their faces that they are enjoying it especially the new train that is deployed in Dubai Metro. It is more cozy, spacious and it’s stunning modern design makes us feel like we are living in a different planet. Image Credit: Mark Arcigal @_markarcigal/Gulf News reader
