The rails are mainly on a viaduct, and at the center of the city - underground. The system is based on the technology of the contact rail when the electricity is delivered in a continuous solid wire, disposable cloth, or between the side rails. Most of the above-ground stations, located on the overpass, but there is a small underground section with multiple stations.
The red branch runs through the whole of Dubai. Most of the route runs along the viaducts along the main highway Emirates - Sheikh Zayed Road.

According to the project concept in the design of stations played up the theme of the 4 elements: air, water, earth and fire.
The air at all metro stations, crossings and trains conditioned and maintained at 20 ° C. The stations are equipped with escalators, passages - travelators.
Interval of trains is 5 minutes.
All stations - closed. Doors open simultaneously with the train doors.
In the rush hour on the subway a lot of people, mostly Hindus. On the floor, draw a diagram boarding and alighting from the car, but as soon as the doors open, people tumble from the station in the car without letting passengers get out of the car.
There are situations where a relatively empty train arrived, opened the door, who was the first goes and stands in the doorway of stupid (you see him coming out soon), and all the rest of his skirt and pushed
The composition is divided into three sections. Section "gold" class for passengers who have purchased a gold ticket. In this half of the car is usually a few people and there are seats. When driving in the direction of the composition «Jebel Ali» passengers overlook the landscape as the driver in conventional trains, the passengers are there in the head coach. Passage of this class is just 2 times more expensive than usual.
Section (half wagon) exclusively for women (those who, for whatever beliefs prefers to travel alone) and children; Children up to 5 years with an increase of less than 90 cm - free. The remaining 80% of the composition - the usual places.
The transition from the metro station to the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. Walking through the transition takes 10 minutes.
All stations are equipped with escalators and elevators.
Also at every station has a toilet.
As part of the 5 cars. The length of each structure 75 meters. All cars are connected by an accordion, so that you can easily walk from one end to the other composition.
Maximum capacity of 643 people each composition. The maximum speed of 110 km / h.
The Dubai Metro is forbidden to eat and drink in trains and at stations. The penalty for this is - 900 rubles. It is also forbidden to sleep, smoking, to transport animals, bicycles and alcoholic beverages. Penalty for inappropriate use of the emergency brake is 17 000 rubles. There is also a penalty for inappropriate use of the emergency stop of the escalator.
It is possible to call a subway station in honor of the store or the bank, although it is a pleasure worth one million dollars.
Certainly the coolest of the subway is a chip - the ability to stand at the windshield and see what normally sees only the driver. If you want to take pictures through the windshield, it is better to go to train in one of the end stations, because usually there's always busy.
