The Red Line is currently one of two lines of the Dubai Metro network in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It runs from Centrepoint (formerly Rashidiya) in the east to Expo 2020 in the west and travels parallel to Sheikh Zayed Road for most of its length.
There are two interchange stations with the Green Line: Union and BurJuman. Additionally, Jabal Ali is an interchange between the main Red Line (Route 2020) to Expo 2020 and the branch line to Life Pharmacy. The Red Line has its main depot near Centrepoint and an auxiliary depot at Life Pharmacy." At a glance: Dubai Metro ", Gulf News, 19 March 2007. Retrieved on 17 June 2008.
Additionally, DMCC and Sobha Realty have connections to the Dubai Tram at Jumeirah Lake Towers and Dubai Marina stations respectively.
In 2010, the Red Line carried a total of 38.888 million passengers with a daily average of about 149,000 people, according to the RTA Statistics Office. In 2013, the Red Line handled a total of over 88 million passengers and the daily average was about 243,000 people.
Three additional stations were added between 2011 and 2013, making a total of twenty-nine stations spanning . The line is the world's longest single rapid transit line to use driverless trains, as recognized by Guinness World Records in 2011.
Construction of the Route 2020 line started in 2016 by the ExpoLink Consortium, comprising Alstom, Acciona, and Gülermak. The track layout east of Jabal Ali station was modified to create a new branch and one additional platform to serve the new route. The line was formally inaugurated by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's Ruler and UAE Prime Minister, on 8 July 2020. As a result of increasing popularity of the metro, the new stations feature platforms wider than those found in existing stations, to cope with greater ridership. The extension is in length, with above ground and below ground. Of the seven stations, five are elevated and two are underground. Eventually it is planned to extend the line beyond Expo 2020 to Al Maktoum International Airport, south of the Expo site. The route is expected to have 275,000 users each day by 2030.
The extension was partially opened on 1 January 2021, with trains running a shuttle service between Jabal Ali and Al Furjan. The section from Al Furjan to Expo 2020 was opened on 1 June 2021, allowing the extension to be fully operational, as well as the transfer of the main Red Line route from Life Pharmacy to Expo 2020.
The travel time between Centrepoint and Expo 2020 station is reported to be 1 hour 14 minutes with a service frequency of 2 minutes and 38 seconds during peak times (24 trains per hour in each direction), and a capacity of 16,000 passengers per hour in each direction.
The section from Jabal Ali to Life Pharmacy ran as a shuttle service, with passengers from Centrepoint needing to change at Jabal Ali Metro Station for stations to Life Pharmacy. Starting from 15 April 2024, there will be no need to switch trains at Jabal Ali because the Dubai Metro Red Line will branch into 2 direct routes:
The directions depend on the timing of the Y junction where the Expo 2020 and Life Pharmacy branches meet in front of Jabal Ali Metro Station.
170 feeder buses are provided by the RTA for commuters to commute to stations on the line are also in operation, as of 15 October 2010.
