On a page on the social network Facebook Sheikh Mohammed posted his photo, which was taken during his trip in the subway car. The caption read: "Yesterday I used the Dubai Metro to get to the place of one of my meetings. I urge all UAE residents living in the emirate and visiting Dubai to use its developed public transport system."

According to Mattar Al Thayer, chairman and chief executive officer of the Dubai Roads and Transport Committee, in September this year, 4,661,469 passengers used the services of the red metro line, bringing the total number of people on the red and green lines this month to 6 million people.
