The Dubai Metro Red Line update introduces three direct routes during peak hours, offering residents and visitors faster and more convenient travel across the city. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) continues to enhance public transportation, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and improve commuter experiences. These updates reflect Dubai’s commitment to making public transport more efficient, reliable, and user-friendly.
Dubai Metro Peak Hours
The busiest times on the Dubai Metro are:
- Morning: 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM
- Evening: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
During these hours, thousands of commuters travel to work, school, and other destinations, often leading to crowded trains and longer waiting times. To address this, the RTA has introduced additional direct trips on the Red Line, helping passengers save time and enjoy a more comfortable journey.
New Dubai Metro Red Line Routes
During peak hours, the Red Line now operates on three direct routes:
- Centrepoint Station ↔ Expo 2020 Station – connects the city center to the Expo site, ideal for tourists and residents attending events.
- Centrepoint Station ↔ Life Pharmacy Station – a convenient route for shoppers and visitors to commercial areas.
- Centrepoint Station ↔ Al Fardan Exchange Station (previously Al Khail) – serves business districts and residential neighborhoods efficiently.
These direct routes reduce the need for transfers, minimize travel time, and improve overall connectivity for passengers traveling across Dubai’s main hubs.

- Reduced waiting times during rush hours
