Not all negative though on the public transport, as the new metro system should come on line next year which should be a really viable alternative to the car , in winter months anyway!

I hope that the metro will be air-conditioned! I live in London at the mo and during the summer months, travelling by public transport is almost unbearable. The trains are packed and there is hardly any air left to breathe!!! You literally suffocate all the way home - even sardines have more space to move around!! Wonder what it would be like in Dubai in that heat??? Hopefully, they are planning it a lot better than London's transport network !!
