Al Qusais 3, an extension of the Dubai Metro’s Green Line, is a major transport milestone for the emirate of Dubai, UAE. The addition of the line is designed to make travel in the city easier, more efficient, and reliable.
The line has been built by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and is the longest of the three existing metro lines in the city. It spans a total of 23.4 kilometres and covers 20 stations with the last stop extending to Expo 2020 site.
At the heart of the line is the Al Qusais 3 station, which has become a major transportation hub for passengers travelling between downtown Dubai and its northern suburbs. The station also provides direct access to the Dubai International Airport.
The newAl Qusais 3 line promises increased connectivity between areas like International City – Al Khawaneej and Al Barari that are seeing increased development. It furthermore links residential zones such as Al Warqaa 1-5 and Deira Islands with future business centres like Dubai Creek Harbour.
The line will provide a well-deserved relief to the existing traffic congestion stress placed on the Al Qusais area, as many people living in Dubai’s surrounding cities such as Sharjah, Al Ain, and Abu Dhabi use that area to commute in the city.
The Dubai Metro Green Line boasts a number of aspects that make it a unique experience. It has two types of cabins, namely air-conditioned and non-air conditioned, which will provide passengers with maximum comfort. The cars are also fitted with ergonomic seating, wide windows, and doors to maximize view points and prevent any blocking of the current.
RTA has also taken the precaution of introducing an Emergency Response System on the line to ensure the safety and security of its passengers at any times.
The new line allows for faster travel between the passenger's destination and includes interchanges with the Red and Green lines for easy transfers between the two. This helps to minimize the wait time riders have to experience.
Additionally, Al Qusais 3 has a number of park and ride facilities strategically placed at the stations, allowing people to leave their cars and board the metro if the need arises.
The opening of Al Qusais 3 marks a significant event in the history of Dubai and marks the start of a new era of public transportation within the city. The new line promises to be an effective way to travel to and from surrounding suburbs, providing an easy, cheap, and convenient way to get around.
