Dubai Green Line Metro Extension

In February 2009, Systra appointed RMC to perform the planning and modelling of the Dubai Metro Green Line extension from the existing Creek station to Emirates Road with a view to producing ridership forecasts for the extension as well as the whole Metro Line. The number of passengers boarding and alighting at each of the existing Metro stations as well as the stations along the proposed extension was produced. Based on the ridership forecasts the key system parameters including system capacity, headway and station sizing were estimated.
The extension will serve new and existing developments such as Lagoons and International City Phase 1 and key attractions such as Fruit & Vegetable Market. The study also investigated the possibility of extending the line to International City Phases 2 & 3 developments as well as Silicon Oasis and Academic City.
