The Dubai Metro. ARCHIVE

Whether you're a daily commuter or just hopping on for a scenic ride, knowing the rules on Dubai Metro can save you from some shockingly hefty fines. Here are 9 violations you probably didn’t know could burn a hole in your wallet: 1. Dh2,000 – Pressing the emergency button (for no reason) Touch it only if it's truly a life-or-death situation. 2. Dh1,000 – Bringing weapons or flammables on board No swords, sprays, or suspicious liquids allowed on the train. 3. Dh500 – Carrying alcohol (yes, even unopened) Your secret stash of spirits? Not so secret anymore. 4. Dh300 – Sleeping in metro shelters It’s a train station, not your living room. 5. Dh200 – Spitting or littering anywhere Clean freaks rejoice: hygiene rules are strictly enforced. 6. Dh100 – Putting your feet on the seats Your shoes don’t belong where someone’s pants will go. 7. Dh500 – Using a fake nol card Forgery is not the flex you think it is. 8. Dh100 – Eating or drinking where you shouldn’t That sneaky sandwich might cost you more than lunch. 9. Dh100 – Bringing your pet on the metro Unless it’s a guide dog, your furry friend stays home. Always read the signs, keep your feet down, and save your snacks for later. Dubai Metro might be one of the most efficient in the world—but it also runs a tight (and clean!) ship or train rather. CAM/Expat Media
