And the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, tweeted: "Dubai Metro... an old dream of Dubai... I was ten years old with my father in London in 1959 when he insisted that he be in the cockpit of one of its trains... Fifty years later in 2009 it became a reality... No There is an impossible in life if you can imagine it.”

Hours before that, the ruler of Dubai tweeted: “Tomorrow we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the launch of one of our most important projects in Dubai and the UAE, the Dubai Metro project. The metro transported 10 billion people in XNUMX years. I consulted on the metro project with members of the Dubai Executive Council at the time. Some rejected the idea on the pretext that people’s culture does not accept the use of the metro, and I insisted on starting implementation immediately.”
