@Oli69 Didn't you say the same about metro few years back? I personally know few well paid execs using metro to travel to work from Marina/JBR/JLT not just labourers. And if labourers use them as well, I think it is good as they are just humans like us. If you ain't going to use it, that's fine. But please stop cursing at infrastructure developments in our country. The world is going though some rough financial times and am sure especially where you come from as well, but when the time is right, it will all happen and it will help a lot of us although maybe not you, but it might be you as well. Please be polite. We appreciate your help in our country though.

Tram delay
Posted by mansoor at 13:57 UAE time
I remember construction started during 2009, they should have not ripped of such a beautiful area, now un-constructed tram line and detour's at marina are here to stay.... wont dust and weather destroy all the current progress

What is the point with this tramway anyway??! Who is going to use it?? The residents in dubai marina will probably never use a tramway, let's be realistic! For laborers and service staff they're better off adding a bus lane and increasing the number of buses. Now everybody will have to suffer disruption until 2014. Good job RTA, as usual you never get it right...

Marina Tram
Posted by Chris J at 11:25 UAE time
We accept that there are issues in Dubai in funding the tram. This has been evident in the lack of work for more than one year. Surely a small budget can be found to return the trees and plants and review the traffic barrier arrangements which impede traffic flows until the RTA has the capacity to restart these important works. Residents of the Marina pay a beautification levy in their charges and those on the major roads should again have safety and beauty available.

Why does this report have two paragraphs on the delay and nothing about they just can't afford the to pay for the tramway at the moment,and then the rest of the report saying how good the tramway is going to be,how many trains how many passengers per hour come oN A/B do so decent reporting this is kids stuff

What recession?
Posted by JK at 17:26 UAE time
The area and line planned for tram was Dubai Marina – Internet City – Media City – Mall of the Emirates. These lines are already populated and one of the busiest in Dubai with residentials and offices. So what's the delay and what's the recession? Is it funding? Surely its not the developments around this area as it is already quite populated. JBR for instance is parking problems during weekends. We were expecting trams to let us leave cars to enjoy beach. Well, 4 years then it is.
