Dubai Green Line Metro Extension– International City to Academic City

This study follows the earlier 2009 study where the Green Line was extended from Creek Station in Jadaf to International City Phase I Development. This feasibility study continues the extension of the Green up to Academic City Development. RMC was responsible for the planning activities of this study covering development of viable alternative routes, identification of station location and producing ridership forecasts for the Green Line Extension as well as other Metro Lines. 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 International City Phases 1, 2 and 3 developments, Silicon Oasis an Academic City Development. Three viable alternative route were define, modelled and assessed leading to selection of a preferred alternative route which was further evaluated to produce key system parameters.
