  "These stations offer 40 retail outlets spanning an area of 15,860 square feet in addition to five sales kiosks. Metro stations of Route 2020 offer a brilliant investment opportunity for entrepreneurs as they are considered high-attraction spots for shoppers and tourists on the move," said Abdul Mohsen Ibrahim Younes, CEO of Rail Agency, RTA.

  He said Route 2020 can handle 46,000 riders per hour in both directions and is projected to be used by 125,000 riders per day in 2021, increasing to about 275,000 riders per day by 2030.
  RTA studies also predict that the Expo Station is expected to witness 35,000 visitors per day during weekdays, and 47,000 visitors per day during weekends. This number accounts for about 29 percent of the total expected daily visitors of Expo.
  Route 2020 includes the biggest station in the entire Dubai Metro network – the Jumeirah Golf Estates Station which has an area of 27,000 square metres and can handle up to 250,000 riders per day.
  The station serves surrounding areas such as the Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai Production City and Dubai Sports City, said Younes.

  "Offering retail outlets in Route 2020 is in line with RTA's endeavours to stimulate the domestic trade and inject fresh growth prospects. The success that marked retail outlets of the Dubai Metro stations on both the Red and Green Lines stems from the success and excellence of the Dubai Metro project. It demonstrates the confidence reposed by the public in this pioneering project that has generated a positive impact on the daily life of people," he added.
