Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is all set to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Dubai Metro, which has become an essential part of the city’s daily life since its launch on September 9, 2009. This year’s “15 Years on Track” celebration will feature special events, giveaways, and surprises that promise to engage residents and visitors.
Dubai Metro: A Lifeline for Public Transport
The Dubai Metro has transformed how people travel in the city. Over the years, it has gained popularity for its convenience and reliability. Today, about 37% of Dubai’s public transport users prefer the Metro over other options, making it a vital part of the city’s transportation network.
Limited-Edition Collectibles and Special Offers
Emirates Post is releasing limited-edition postage stamps to commemorate this milestone as part of the celebrations. For those who use public transport daily, the RTA is introducing a special edition nol card. This card will feature a unique design, making it not just functional but also a keepsake for regular commuters.
In addition to the nol cards, there will be various Metro-themed souvenirs available, allowing everyone to take home a piece of this iconic transport system.
Music and Entertainment at Metro Stations
From September 21 to 27, Dubai Metro stations will feature live music by local and international artists during the Dubai Metro Music Festival, organized by Brand Dubai. Enjoy cultural performances while you commute.
Special Events for Families and More Surprises
For families, there’s a special event at LEGOLAND Dubai for children born on September 9 between 2009 and 2023, affectionately called “Metro Babies.” Parents can register their children on the RTA website to join this unique celebration.
IGLOO will offer Metro-shaped ice creams, with some featuring special codes that you can redeem for nol Terhaal discount cards.
Looking Back and Moving Forward
This celebration is not just about looking back at the past 15 years but also about looking ahead. The Dubai Metro has played a crucial role in the city’s development and will continue to be an important part of Dubai’s future.
The “15 Years on Track” celebration is set to be a memorable event. Whether you’re a regular commuter, a visitor, or just someone who appreciates Dubai’s rapid development, there’s something for everyone in this celebration.
