Al Jadaf, Creek metro stations to open next Saturday
Roads & Transport Authority –
Mohammed Al Munji:
The Roads & Transport Authority
(RTA) will open on the Saturday March 1st Al Jadaf and Creek
stations; the terminal two stations on the Green Line of the Dubai Metro. By
operating these two final stations, the RTA will be completing the operation of
all the Dubai Metro stations.
H.E. Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the
Board and Executive Director of the RTA, said: “Al Jadaf and Creek stations;
which are located at the end of the Green Line track, serve existing projects
and others under construction such as the Culture Village and Sama Al Jadaf,
and they will also serve the Dubai Festival City through operating a marine
transit service linking with the Creek Station. Al Wasl Club will also be
linked with Al Jadaf Station through a bus route to be operated when matches
are held. The RTA has provided 100 parking slots at Al Jadaf Station, besides
providing a bus route to serve passengers of the two stations.
“Operating these two stations will
contribute significantly to expediting the development tempo in the
neighbourhood, and accordingly the ridership will pick up gradually as per the foreseeable
inputs. The daily ridership of Al Jadaf Station is forecasted as 2100 riders
per day, whereas the Creek Station is expected to be used by about 1400 riders
every day. However, these numbers are poised to double up exponentially with
the opening of property development projects, some of which are nearing
completion,” added Al Tayer.
“Through the Dubai Metro operator
Serco Co., the RTA has completed all arrangements related to the operation of
the two stations by carrying out technical test runs of the metro including
testing the communication systems, automatic operation systems, power feed
system, and the air-conditioning system among others. It has also finalized the
appointment of 16 employees to man the two metro stations and they have already
been deployed at site after undergoing intense training exposures on delivering
customers service, implementing regulations drawn up by the RTA to protect the
facilities, and enforcing the rules against offenders,” said the Chairman of
the Board and Executive Director of the RTA in a final remark.
Coordination has also been made with
the Transport Security Dep’t to deploy security personnel at the two stations
to ensure the security and safety of the metro riders. Moreover, teams of
Emergency Services (Civil Defence, Ambulance and Rescue) made field visits to
the two stations to know more about them and the surroundings.
It is worth-mentioning that Al Jadaf
and Creek stations are amongst the elevated metro stations where the concourse
and platform are on the upper level of the elevated metro track. Each station
extends 132 meters in length and 29 meters in width, and has a capacity to
handle 11,000 passengers per hour per direction. The two stations are fitted
with escalators as well as lifts.
