Ever since its launch, the Metro has transported more than two billion passengers, with the Roads and Transport Authority revealing that the metro’s Red Line transported 1.342bn commuters, while the Green Line served 673.531m commuters.
Operated by the RTA, the Metro is also the first urban train network in the Arabian Peninsula.
