UAE – Mubasher: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has signed a contract to upgrade three metro stations on the red line, the Emirates News Agency reported on Saturday.
The deal is a part of a 5-year plan for the improvement of metro and marine transport stations and their surroundings to ease the life of citizens.
"The plan envisages upgrading the facilities of 40 metro and marine transport stations up to 2025 and improving the connectivity between stations and urban & tourist attractions up to 500 metres in the surroundings to ensure the safe and smooth accessibility of pedestrians,” RTA’s director general Mattar Al Tayer commented.
"Improvements of the first three stations include adding a new western entry to Dubai Internet City station and improving the link between Damac Metro Station and Dubai Marina Tram Station to handle the rising number of riders during morning and evening peak times,” Al Tayer added.
