The Dubai Metro will be open to the rest of the public on the 10th of September 2009
The Dubai Metro has officially opened on September 9, 2009 at 9:09pm and 09 seconds. So it was launched on 9/9/9 at 9:09 and 09 seconds. Imagine that!
Once the Metro has opened, it will be heading to the following places located on this map. The Metro is busy being displayed on TV on "Dubai One" Channel. His Heinous Sheikh Mohammad was the first person to get into the Metro and go from the Mall Of The Emirates Station to the DIFC (Dubai International Finance Center) and from there he went straight to the Union square and pressed a red button to activate the next station . How neat is that?!
Just before he went on to the Metro, Fireworks were shot up into the air at the Mall Of The Emirates Station. From here, you can see all the colorful fireworks go up in to the air and watch the show. Sorry to inform you but this can be seen ONLY in Dubai's Mall Of The Emirates Station, where only the VIP and Press and other important people are invited. And sorry but no Celebrities have been invited to this event. This is the most exclusive event in Dubai, and just imagine how all the celebrities must be thinking now. Here is what's I think some celebrities are thinking of:
Paris Hilton: "Hmm, I wasn't invited, of all the nerve!"
Angelina Jolie: "Time to continue taking care of the kids"
Victoria Beckham: "I must find a way to get invited to the grand opening of the Dubai Metro, Hmm, I wonder what would happen if I sell all my Gucci handbags at a price of 4.7 billion US dollars?"
What is the Dubai Metro?
The Dubai Metro (مترو دبي) is the first Metro system to be opened in the U.A.E , Well I know there is some underground subways in Sharjah but I don't really know much about that. Wikipedia has said somethings about the Metro which you can read over here.
The Metro is basically a train system that is totally automatic and it has NO driver in it. It's something new in the U.A.E.
Is the Metro going to be a little classier than the Underground systems in London and the U.S?
Well, yes. From what I've heard on the Metro's website on one of the stations they will be having some Chandeliers lighting up the place. "The main underground station of Khalid bin Waleed Station (Burjuman) will be lit by chandeliers"
:D Congratulations Dubai for getting the Metro started :D
