Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has announced revised Metro timings for the Fifa World Cup.
The change in timings will go into effect from today (Friday, December 9) and last for the duration of the sporting event in Qatar.
The authority noted that the revision is to ensure “an easy trip to [one’s] destination during the football season”.
The last Metro will depart 45 minutes after the last game, with an added 1.5 hours service extension. The full list of extended timings can be viewed below:
Nearly 1,400 daily Dubai Metro trips, 700 additional taxis, 60 dedicated public buses, and three marine transit means were announced to help transport up to 1,200 passengers per hour during the Fifa World Cup in Qatar.

Authorities had also said that they would take real-time traffic conditions into account to allocate resources accordingly.
