Everything we know so far about Dubai Metro's underground Blue Line
Looks like they plan to have the blue line extension ready to go in 2029 mentioned in the embedded video not the article.
The plan is to have 55% of the population within 800 meters of public transportation stations by 2040.
A little bit old, but I always like to watch the video linked below: Youtube - Dubai Progress by MetroCucumber
Lmao. A post praising Dubai on fuckcars of all places. Dubai that uses trucks instead of a proper sewer system. Dubai that looks at American suburbia and goes “we want that.”
Uhm, I stay here and I want the public transport to get better, which it is. Except for my work, I can reach most of my points of interests already without a car.
There is a proper sewer system. I think you are probably referring to the Burj Khalifa's first 2 months when they had problems connecting it to the sewerage system, but that has already been done. There were other hiccups and needed to have a part of it upgraded, but it was connected to the sewerage system very closely after the opening.
Some of the buildings are inspired by buildings in America, but there are influences from all around the world.
Oh damn! Thanks for the clarification about the Burk Khalifa. I still see memes about the poop trucks to this day!
The goal is pathetically low for a city of that size and means. London has a population of eight million, is of comparable size, and is covered by public transport.
I used to live in a small village of 500 people and we had complete bus coverage within 2-300 metres.
Dubai has the means to do much better, but creating and maintaining a well thought through bus network isn’t cool enough. If they actually cared they could have the entire place covered within a couple of years.
2040 my arsehole.
You should get better informed. Dubai is expanding its metro with extensions and new lines, nothing like any US suburb. I don’t know why any mention of Arab cities or countries brings out the worst in some people.
If me and my gay husband lived there we’d be tortured and dead. I’m informed enough thanks
And no that doesn’t have anything to do with fuckcars, I just felt like it 🏳️🌈🌈✌️
Edit: fuck cars, fuck places like Dubai who pretend to be soo holier than thou but really are literal shit-beaches, fuck homophobic religions, governments, and people…
…and fuck some three day old account coming here to lie. Wanna stir some shit, Du-bai-felicia? Go visit the beach 💅
I hope my city becomes more like Dubai
A hellscape?
Me too. I'm from Jeddah, a 2500 year-old city yet less known than Dubai.
