Dubai Metro Job Vacancies 2023
The Roads and Transport Authority commonly known as RTA, is the major independent government roads & transportation authority in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was founded in 2005 and is responsible for planning and executing transport and traffic projects, along with legislation and strategic plans of transportation in the city. It is a department of the Government of Dubai.
RTA was established in 2005 by Law No. 17 - 2005. It was launched by the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Emir of Dubai, Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum with the mission of developing integrated, sustainable and world-class transportation systems for residents of Dubai. In 2012, RTA's Dubai Metro was declared by Guinness World Records to be the world's longest fully automated driverless metro system with a route length of 75 kilometers' (47 mi).
The Dubai Metro is a rapid transit rail network in the city
of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is currently operated by a consortium of the
French company, Keolis, and Japanese Company, MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries), as Keolis - MHI.
The Red Line and Green Line are operational, with a major 15
km (9.3 mi) extension to the Red Line known as Route 2020 to the Expo 2020 site
announced in April 2015 and opened in 2021. These first two lines run
underground in the city Centre and on elevated viaducts elsewhere.
All trains are fully automated and driverless, and, together
with stations, are air conditioned with platform edge doors. Architecture firm
Aedas designed the metro's 45 stations, two depots and operational control
centers. The Al Ghurair Investment group were the metro's builders.
The first section of the Red Line, covering 10 stations, was
ceremonially inaugurated at 9:09:09 pm on 9 September 2009, by Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, with the line opening to the public at 6 am
(UTC 04:00) on 10 September. The Dubai Metro is the first urban train network
in the Arabian Peninsula and either the second in the Arab World (after the
Cairo Metro) or the third (if the surface-level, limited-service Baghdad Metro
is counted).
More than 110,000 people, or nearly 10 percent of Dubai's
population, used the Metro in its first two days of operation. The Dubai Metro carried
10 million passengers from launch on 9 September 2009 to 9 February 2010 with
11 stations operational on the Red Line. Engineering consultancy Atkins
provided full multidisciplinary design and management of the civil works on
Dubai Metro. Apply Now
