A new golden metro line may be built in Dubai

The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to select a consultant to oversee the planning and implementation of the Gold Line. Companies interested in collaborating include Aecom, Jacobs and Parsons, AtkinsRealis, Mott MacDonald and Systra - world leaders in transport engineering and urban infrastructure.

According to preliminary plans, the Gold Line would start in the Al Ghubaiba district of Bur Dubai and then run inland through Business Bay, Meydan, Global Village, all the way to the residential areas in Dubailand. This route could become a key link for residents of the rapidly developing districts and facilitate transport to popular business and leisure centres.
