Dubai Metro Extends Hours for India Day Celebration
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has announced that the operating hours of the Dubai Metro will be extended from 5:00 AM on Saturday, November 16, 2024, until 2:00 AM on Sunday, November 17, 2024. This measure is taken to allow the city's residents and visitors easy access to the Emirates Loves India Day event, which is expected to attract a large number of attendees.
Why is this change important?
The Dubai Metro is one of the fastest, safest, and most reliable modes of transportation in the city. The RTA's decision to extend the operating hours clearly reflects its commitment to providing convenient transit. The Emirates Loves India Day, traditionally a highly anticipated event, offers unique cultural and entertainment programs and serves as a celebration of the Indian community and culture. The extended metro hours provide participants with a stress-free travel opportunity to and from the event.
