Dubai Metro expansion: Blue Line route map unveiled by RTA

Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) released the route map of the upcoming Dubai Metro Blue Line on Dec 14.

In a video tweet, it explained the finer points of the addition; for one thing, it’ll extend 14.5km above ground and 15.5km under ground, resulting in easier connectivity.

The new line will connect 14 ground-level and underground stations across the city once it opens in 2029, just in time for the 20^th anniversary of the arterial system’s city debut.

Here’s a look at the route map:

“The project is expected to enhance the integration of Dubai Metro’s network, elevating the quality of life and improving daily mobility across the city,” said RTA.
