To accommodate the large number of participants in the highly anticipated Dubai Ride cycling race, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that the Dubai Metro will operate on extended hours this Sunday, November 10, 2024. The metro will begin service as early as 3 am and continue until midnight, ensuring easy access for participants heading to the event’s starting point.
Supporting Dubai Ride’s Success
Dubai Ride, a highlight of the annual Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), will see tens of thousands of cycling enthusiasts riding past iconic landmarks along Sheikh Zayed Road. This year, the event is expected to attract an even larger crowd, building on last year’s impressive turnout of over 35,000 participants. The RTA’s decision to extend the Metro’s hours aims to provide convenient transport for both participants and spectators, ensuring they can easily access the event and return home after a day filled with fitness and fun.
Increased Metro Availability for a Seamless Experience
The extended Metro hours are designed to accommodate the early morning crowd that typically arrives in the city for the race. This change ensures that participants will have smooth access to public transport, allowing them to reach the event’s starting point at the Dubai World Trade Centre well ahead of time. The extended hours also demonstrate the RTA’s commitment to enhancing the public transport experience during major city events and contributing to the overall success of the Dubai Fitness Challenge.
With the RTA’s ongoing efforts to provide exceptional service to residents and visitors during large-scale events, the extended Metro hours will help make this year’s Dubai Ride even more accessible for all participants.
