Dubai Metro and Tram services will run continuously for over 43 hours starting December 31, according to a senior official from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). This initiative is aimed at reducing congestion during New Year celebrations, with authorities encouraging the public to use public transport for a smoother journey.
Dubai Metro will operate non-stop from 5am on December 31 until the end of January 1. Similarly, Dubai Tram services will run from 6am on December 31 until 1am on January 2.
Additionally, the RTA is also planning to add a fleet of 1,400 buses that will be available to the public free of charge.
Hussain Al Bana, Executive Director of Traffic at the RTA, emphasized that the extended Metro and Tram hours, coupled with free bus services and additional parking spaces, will ensure convenient transport options for the public while reducing traffic congestion during the celebrations.
