Commuters on the Dubai Metro can look forward to a much more pleasant travel experience this summer, thanks to a major cooling system overhaul recently completed by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). Working alongside the metro operator, Keolis MHI, the RTA finished upgrading the air conditioning units across 62 trains. The project involved a thorough maintenance process, replacing aging components and conducting rigorous performance testing to ensure that the fleet’s ventilation systems can handle the city’s extreme seasonal temperatures with maximum efficiency.

This initiative is part of a broader preventive maintenance strategy designed to boost the reliability of Dubai’s public transport infrastructure while proactively preventing technical faults before they happen. By performing these upgrades during off-peak hours, the RTA managed to enhance passenger comfort and improve the long-term sustainability of the fleet without causing any disruptions to daily service schedules. Ultimately, these improvements underscore the authority’s commitment to maintaining a high-quality, dependable transit network for both residents and visitors during the sweltering summer months.
