Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed the relocation of Women-and-Children cabins in the existing metro trains. The two-month process included removing stickers from previous cabins during maintenance hours and affixing them to the newly designated cabins located at the other end of metro trains.
“The relocation of Women and Children cabins comprises of three phases. Phase I aimed to familiarise metro riders with this change through social media and directional signs. Employees were deployed at stations to guide passengers and respond to their queries. Phase II included placing posters on floors and platform screen doors to lead women and children to the new location of their cabin. Phase III was designated for the announcement of the completion of the relocation of Women & Children cabin in the existing metro trains,” said Mohammed Yousef Al Mudharreb, Director of Rail Operation at RTA’s Rail Agency.
RTA attaches paramount importance to the comfort of Dubai Metro riders, especially women and children. The Rail Agency therefore kicked off a campaign to make the location of Women and Children cabins in the existing trains consistent with the location of such cabins in the new trains.
“RTA calls on women and children to use the relocated cabins for added privacy in line with the norms and traditions of the community,” added Al Mudharreb.
