Dubai Metro Green Line – coming soon near me!

20101Sep

by Grace

On my way home yesterday, I found the Dubai Metro train on a test run on an elevated platform very near where we live.

There’s a station near our apartment and a station near where I work so the stressful days of having to drive through the morning traffic to work and back is nearing to an end. I’m starting the countdown with a smile on my face.

Do you prefer to drive your own car or use the public transport?

Heck no, not in our country. Here we all take our own transport.
I’m sure you will love it though :) I know how you stress on the roads

I love public transportation! I take an express bus (which means it goes from my stop to downtown without additional stops!) every day, which takes 20-25 minutes each way. I read, do handsewing, listen to my Ipod, or just gab. I love, love, love it, and it saves so much pollution!

I NEVER sleep tho. I snore, lol…it’s too embarassing.

If public transportation was an option that actually got me where I wanted to go in a reasonable amount of time, yes, I would take it. Probably not now, with two small children in tow, but when I lived in Seattle I would have loved to take the bus. Unfortunately it would have taken me about 4 hours one way to get to work! Driving took about an hour, but I joined a carpool that made it 45 minutes. So I guess I did my part, but our public transportation over here pretty much sucks!

Public transportation is sometimes good, but in dubai, i think it’s not. Over 40 degrees of weather makes all the ppl to use their own cars with air condition :)

Hey! Good for you and in a way you’re helping the environment. I used to ride the metro before I shifted to my new place.And I really like ‘coz it’s clean, fast & stress free travel and I advice take the gold card to a more stress free travel on peak hours.

i drive, to take the bus would take 1 hour and thousands of turns and a few hundred aromas, human and otherwise. Driving takes me to work in 20 mins…and bus-ing is not an ideal option in -35C weather.

i re-use my plastic bags, and try to use my reusable bags, i recyle my pop cans.
