To the delight of many residents and guests of Dubai, it is planned that in 2014 the Dubai Metro will begin to operate on Fridays in the early morning (it currently opens on Fridays at 13.00). At the same time, background music will cease to sound in the subway (this experiment has already been carried out earlier, especially on national holidays).
In September 2013, the Dubai Metro celebrated its fifth anniversary from the date of commissioning. Over the past period, two branches and 46 stations served more than 300 million passengers, of which more than half a million on New Year's Eve 2013.
