On repeat.
On repeat.
Well over 3,000 Metro journeys since I started riding in 2017.
Dubai offers many ways to experience the city. Mine has often been through the Metro.
Morning and afternoon, some faces change, others remain familiar. You may never speak, but over time they become part of the rhythm of the commute.
The carriage becomes a temporary public room crossing the city. And when I am lucky enough to get the front seat, the driverless train opens Dubai directly ahead.
After thousands of journeys, the everyday is still worth noticing.
