Heavy rains struck the emirate in mid-April, closing four metro stations in Dubai. By May 28, all four stations will be operational again.
As a result of the severe weather, floods occurred all around the nation, including at many Metro stations in Dubai.
“On Passive, Equiti, 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”, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said.
On Monday, April 22, the RTA issued a public service announcement (PSA) asking riders to use the Dubai Metro only at off-peak times and to organise their trips around the stations that are currently open.
At Metro stations, the precautions are in effect daily from 7am to 9.30am and 5pm to 8.30pm.
“150 buses would continue to serve passengers commuting from Business Bay to On Passive, Mall of the Emirates, Mashreq, Equiti, Dubai Internet City, and Al Khail Metro stations”, The authority said.
The RTA provided clarification on the shuttle bus service’s operation alongside the train stations that are not running on May 5th, Sunday.
The RTA has upgraded many bus lines and opened the “Stadium” bus station.
