SO we got it at last!!!! Mabrook Dubai! Well I am talking about the Dubai Metro here. Since I am from Kolkata where the first metro in India was commissioned I was Maha Thrilled on Dubai Metro. Dubai being a city of all 'est's Metro cant be an exception here! The world Tall'est' builidng is here - World's bigg'est' mall is here - World's most expensive Hotel is here!! an so the metro also got the longest driverless track !!! Wah Dubai!!! Mabrook!
But metro in Dubai , will it really click? I doubt very much. In a country where big cars are just a part of life and petrol is cheap as few bottles of Coke! who really cares for metro?
The effluents will perhaps never use metro and unskilled labour - hmmmmm, I guess the ticket price is too high! I think govt needs to do something to push the public to use metro. Like, to increase the tax on imported car or create awareness about the pollution and global warming.
But at the end of the day - I am happy for Dubai. It needed a solution like metro and again Dubai did it in style!! Mabrook Dubai!
Ma Salam!
Arindam
But I feel, Shaik's of Dubai create the world class infrastructure in compentent to the world rather than on need. I still have a doubt weather the Metro which you are talking will have that much of usage comparing to other countries...
