4. 杜拜捷運票價以區(zone)劃分,
同區一段票,跨區費用累計：目前杜拜分五區.但捷運只通過1,2,&5三區.也就是說最多跨三區

) 頭等艙的票價為一倍
一天無限使用票為AED14 (NTD126)

nol card分四種：
紅卡(AED 2)適合不常使用的遊客
銀卡(AED 6)只能使用標準艙,認卡不認人
金卡(AED 6)能使用頭等艙,認卡不認人
藍卡(AED 50)客製照片卡,未來將結合特殊族群優惠(eg 老人,孩童,學生,身心障礙)或集點.遺失可報停止使用
這樣的價格,在捷運世界中屬於便宜的捷運票價！
5. 貝殼式車站設計： 因應沙漠氣候,車站以包覆性高的貝殼形狀來設計.非常有未來感！
Dubai：September 9 sees the long-awaited launch of the Dubai Metro, which, when fully completed in 2012, will become the world's largest automated driverless Metro system. To celebrate this occasion, we take a pictorial journey through some of the other similar transport systems from around the world.
London：Often referred to as The Tube, London Underground was the first railway system of its kind in the world, opening way back in 1863. In 1890, it also became the first to operate electric trains. Approximately 2.95 million people use The Tube every single day, from the 270 stations located around the British capital. Its distinctive mapping system, which features a non-geographical layout and colour-coded lines, is considered a design classic, and has influenced many other transport maps around the world.
Cairo：Carrying around 2 million people per day, the Cairo Metro in Egypt is Africa's only full-fledged metro system, and with construction having begun on a third line in 2006, that number looks set to increase in the future. The city's rapid transport system opened in 1987, with Line 1 connecting Helwan with El Marg, and Line 2 linking Shobra El Kheima and El Mounib.
New York：Aside from the city's famous yellow cabs, one of the main forms of transport for New Yorkers to get around the city is the New York City Subway. The system is the only one of its kind to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and carries a staggering 5,225,675 people on average every day. As well as being one of the oldest transport systems in the world, it is one of the most extensive, with 468 stations in operation across the city's boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.
Delhi：One of the world's newest metro systems (aside from Dubai's, of course!) is the Delhi Metro, which was opened on December 24, 2002. The city's metro has gained numerous awards, including one from the United Nations, for being environmentally friendly, and was the first rapid transport system in the world to be ISO 14001 certified for environmentally friendly construction.
HongKong：The rail network in Hong Kong consists of public transport trains operated by the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRC). The company operates the metro network of Hong Kong and connects the northeastern and northwestern New Territories with the rest of the area. The city's Peak Tram, which serves the city centre and several other areas, has been in operation since 1888, but it was not until 1979 that a rapid transit system, the MTR, was opened.
Moscow：The Moscow Metro, the world's second most heavily used rapid-transit system, is renowned for the ornate design of many of its stations, which contain striking examples of socialist realist art. Opened in 1935, the state-owned metro has 292.2 km of route length, 177 stations, and on average carries 7 million passengers daily.
The Paris Métro or, to give it its French name
, Métropolitain, is the second busiest metro system in Europe after Moscow, and has the most closely spaced subway stations in the world, with 245 stations within the 105 km sq French capital. With architecture influenced by Art Nouveau, the system has over 300 stations, serving 16 lines, most of which are underground. Around 4.5 million passengers use the metro each day, adding up to an annual total of around 1.365 billion passengers.
Tokyo：As a city, Tokyo is ranked first in worldwide subway usage. The Japanese capital's metro system has two main operators; Tokyo Metro and Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation, and is the world's most extensive rapid transit system in a single metropolitan area. As of June 2008, the entire networks which service the Greater Tokyo area had a total of 282 stations over 14 lines. Together, the Tokyo networks carry a combined average of close to eight million passengers each day.

Below are some key facts about the Dubai Metro:
Completion: The Metro is scheduled to partially open by September 2009 and be fully completed by 2012. Stations along the route:
There will be a total of 47 stations (in addition to station on the extension lines). The Red Line will have 29 stations, including 24 elevated, four underground and one at ground-level. This line is 52.1 km long, including 4.7 km underground. The Green Line will have 18 stations, including 12 elevated and 6 underground. The Green Line is 22.5 km long, including 7.9 km underground. There will be two transfer stations — Union Square and the BurJuman Centre. At the transfer stations, Green and Red Lines will cross each other and passengers will be able to change between lines. Work on metro stations will continue into 2008. All elevated stations on the Red Line will be completed by the beginning of 2008, while the underground stations will be complete by early 2009. Car parkings for rail users
Car parking facility will be provided to metro users on the concept of "park and ride". There will be two major parking lots on Red Line — one at Rashidiya Station for 3,000 cars and at Jumeirah Islands Station for another 3,000 cars. The biggest parking lot will be built at Al Qusais Station with a capacity of 6,000 cars. It will cater to users coming from Sharjah. There will be small parking spaces at each station while each station will be linked to other mode of transportation, including taxis, buses and at some stations water transport. Depot for maintence
There will be three main train depot to park and do maintenance work on trains. The Red Line will have a main depot in Rashidiya and one auxiliary depot at Jebel Ali Free Zone. On the Green Line, the main depot for train parking and maintenance will be in Al Qusais area. Extension of lines
Extension of Dubai Metro's Red Line is currently under design. It will be extended from Jebel Ali Free Zone to Dubai-Abu Dhabi border an additional 12 km. The RTA is reviewing a plan to extend the Red Line from Jebel Ali to the under construction Jebel Ali Airport, but is still not finalised. Extension plans on the Green Line have already been approved and it has already been extended by about 4.9 km from Healthcare City to Al Jaddaf. The Green Line was initially designed for 17.6 km, but now it is 22.5-km long. Adjacent bus and taxi stations
All main metro stations will have adjacent bus stations as part of the integrated transport system which will include buses, taxis as well as water transport links at stations near the creek. The RTA is planning to introduce an integrated card system, the Smart Card, that will enable passengers to travel on trains, buses and water transport, as well as use the parking areas. Construction of viaducts for elevated tracks
A viaduct is a bridge, which is placed over piers to make a track for the train. The construction of viaduct spans for the Dubai Metro has started on Shaikh Zayed Road near Interchange 5.5 near Ibn Battuta Mall. Each of these viaduct spans is being made up with a minimum of eight pre-cast viaduct deck segments, which are manufactured and transported from Jebel Ali casting yard. Each segment of viaduct, 10 metres wide and four metres in length, is being assembled with other similar sized segments individually to form a complete viaduct span bridging across two supporting piers. Different spans together when assembled will form the bridge deck upon which the trains will travel. There will be 11,400 pre-cast concrete viaduct deck segments to be used for the Red Line. Each viaduct weighs about 50 tonnes. Luxurious interior
The interior of the trains is based on a water and air theme and every train will have five compartments. Every train will have three classes – The Golden Class (VIP), the Women and Children's Class and the Silver Class (economy). The Golden Class will have a luxurious interior with leather seating. The Women and Children's compartments will have plenty of space for strollers and bags to ensure a safe and comfortable journey. The Silver Class has been finished in a combination of blues and greens. Seating is arranged in a variety of ways giving passengers the choice between admiring views through windows or chatting with friends. All compartments will have reserved wheelchair spaces for special needs people. There will be a policy of priority seating for elderly, injured, special needs people and pregnant women. The compartments will be equipped with audio visual devices. Visual and audio announcement facilities will be available to serve people, especially those with special needs. Clear signage will show the route map of the metro and other directions for passengers. A variety of safety devices, including closed circuit television in all trains will ensure a safe and comfortable journey for all.
