The other day I went to Mall of Emirates using the Dubai Metro. I must confess that this was the first time I commuted by the train. I was pleasantly surprised by how organised and hassle free my journey was. It was as comfortable as it could be. I was not stuck in any traffic congestion neither did I have to wait for multiple traffic signals. Moreover, it was an environmental friendly commute. I would like to urge all readers to use the Dubai Metro and other forms of public transport. Being an environmentalist at heart I think this is a way every single one of us can contribute towards a greener planet. It is a great way to reduce our carbon footprint and also the congestions on road. Metro travel time is fixed irrespective of traffic so you know in exactly how many minutes you will reach your destination unlike travelling by car, as you never know how much traffic you will face. Dubai authorities have spent so much on developing world class infrastructure for its residents. We must acknowledge and appreciate their efforts and make the most of it. I request Gulf News to help me send this message out to all readers.
