Pinoys in UAE top users of world’s longest, driverless train network

Filipinos in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the top users of the Dubai Metro, the world’s longest and driverless train network, a study of the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said.

A report on Gulf News said the Filipinos had the “highest affinity” for Dubai Metro, followed by Indians and Europeans.

“We are thrilled about the number of passengers using Metro. There were doubts whether Metro will be conceived by residents as a mode of transport, but now those concerns have all vanished,” the RTA’s rail agency CEO Adnan Al Hammadi said.
