The four metro stations that remain closed after heavy rains hit the emirate in mid-April will see normal operations restored by May 28.
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said OnPassive, Equity, Mashreq, and Energy Metro stations would reopen after all maintenance and safety tests were completed to ensure they are “ready to operate at the highest standards and efficiency”.
On Wednesday, RTA announced metro services would return to normal soon, assuring, “(We are) keen to swiftly restore Dubai Metro services at the affected stations to their normal state, ensure the safety and security of passengers and assets, and deliver seamless transport services in line with the top international practices.
In the meantime, RTA will continue deploying direct bus services consisting of more than 150 buses until the resumption of normal metro operations on three routes during metro operation hours. These buses serve passengers commuting between the Business Bay Metro Station to On Passive, Mall of the Emirates, Mashreq, Equity, Dubai Internet City, and Al Khail Metro Stations.
