Red Line Metro in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
A southbound Red Line speeds away from my lens at Dubai's Marina station. This six year old system is the largest driverless metro in the world, and is slated to grow to 262 miles serving 197 stations by 2030.
I found it ironic that a country famous for its oil reserves would produce such a drool-worthy metro. Riders can expect gleaming stations, spotless bathrooms, and stunning views of the Dubai skyline ... with one Achilles heel: the metro is often jammed, even with six minute headways.
