Two lines run today - Red and Green, sharing one timetable and one Nol fare system - with two more on the way. Here is each line at a glance; every card links to its full guide.

How the lines fit together

The Red Line is the spine: airport to Jebel Ali along Sheikh Zayed Road, with branches to Expo 2020 and Life Pharmacy. The Green Line is the old-Dubai loop through Deira and Bur Dubai, crossing the Red Line at Union and BurJuman. The Blue Line (2029) extends east to International City, Silicon Oasis and Academic City, and the Gold Line (2032) adds a fully underground coastal corridor from Al Ghubaiba to Jumeirah Golf Estates.
