The Dubai Metro is a driverless, fully automated metro rail network in Dubai, a city in the United Arab Emirates. The red line and green line are fully operational. Three further lines are planned for future development. The first two lines run underground in the city center and on elevated viaducts in other parts of the area. All trains and stations have air-conditioning, made possible by platform edge doors.
