Better public transport in Dubai reduces demand for driving licences
A report from Dubai notes that the waiting list for driving lessons has now disappeared - it was 4-8 weeks in the past.
The two main causes are thought to be the financial situation and the much-improved public transport system.
The report is on the web-site of the Dubai Metro. This notes that the pass rate for driving tests in the country was low - so perhaps the improved public transport will save people the time and expense ofhaving to take multiple tests.
Bus services are improving, with modern air-conditioned waiting areas on streets and equally modern air-conditioned buses in service. In addition, the excellent Dubai Metro is opening in phases - the main part of the Red Line opened last year (on 09-09-09), with more stations opening at the end of April and on 15 May. The Green Line is to open in August 2011.
The station serving Terminal 3 at the airport opened last September: the one serving Terminal 1 was among those opening on 30 April.
For more information about rail connections to Dubai Airport, look at IARO's website, the airportrailwaysoftheworld website.
