Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that over two billion passengers have used the Dubai Metro since it opened to the public on 9 September 2009.

Around 1.242 billion people have used the Red Line and 673.531 million have used the Green Line.

Dubai Metro has also maintained a punctuality rate of 99.7% over the years.

In 2022, the daily number of passengers taken crossed 616,000 and has been used as a form of transport for many, especially when Dubai hosted Expo 2020 Dubai, where the Red Line was extended and seven new stations were constructed.

The Dubai Metro is the longest driverless metro project in the world and is connected by 53 stations, with 129 trains running.

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai said, "The Dubai Metro has become the backbone of a transit system that connects various key districts in the emirate, ensuring a safe and smooth mobility for riders. The Dubai Metro is a vital project that serves the community and reflects Dubai's keenness to provide effective, environmentally friendly and sustainable transport solutions. Dubai will continue to develop a highly efficient and reliable transport system to facilitate smooth and safe mobility and support the emirate's overall development goals."
