This is how Shaikh Mohammad bin Rashid al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, defines the city-state's freshly-launched metro system. The network is not only set to modify the public transport culture, by reducing traffic congestion, it will also contribute to enhance Dubai's competitiveness significantly, and inter alia:
- improve overall flow;
- reduce fuel consumption;
- cut carbon emission;
- create a greener environment;
- lower rate of road accidents;
- balance national accounts.

It is amazing how decision-making and policy decisions can be so desperately slow and frustrating in a country which is so proud of its 'achievements'. The main causes are bad legislation, eagerness to tow the lines of the funding agencies and of the private sector (funding agencies of political parties), poor leadership and lack of imagination.
Maktoum ena zizot. Pa kuma sa figir ki vine rakont nu zistwar sorpa tou le swar lor MBC la.
