As Dubai Metro celebrates 15 years, residents can look forward to limited-edition items, special events, discounted Nol cards and more. The Metro is one of Dubai's iconic means of public transport, with the station announcement serving as nostalgia for many residents, who have witnessed its change over the years. The driverless train first went down the tracks on September 9, 2009 (09/09/09).
Under the theme "15 Years on Track," Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will celebrate the occasion with a range of entertainment activities, surprises, and initiatives to bring joy to residents and visitors from all over the world.
