Dubai Metro, Tram to monitor violations, inspection oversight through live screens
A new integrated system will help improve Metro and Tram passenger experience by digitising and optimising inspection operations, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority said on Wednesday.
The authority said that unauthorised use of the Gold Class cabin by Silver nol cardholders and the misuse of designated spaces for women. It also optimises the deployment of fare inspectors, identifying high-priority areas that require increased monitoring to detect and curb violations effectively.
The system enables real-time monitoring of inspectors' performance and ticket inspection activities, with the capability to issue live updates and generate analytical reports on operational outcomes.
During major events, inspection teams are deployed at high-footfall stations based on multi-source data analysis, which helps predict areas more prone to violations, ensuring a faster and more effective response.
Additionally, the system records passenger data to identify repeat offenders and educate them on the importance of adhering to regulations. It has resulted in a 14 per cent monthly increase in inspection rates and improved violation detection, ultimately enhancing passenger compliance with Dubai Metro and Tram regulations.
The system includes a specialised centre dedicated to strengthening inspection oversight and violation monitoring at Dubai Metro and Tram, ensuring optimal resource utilisation and real-time tracking of operational activities.
Equipped with live monitoring screens, it enables instant oversight of ticket inspectors, ensuring swift responses to violations, particularly those affecting passenger safety and comfort.

What is Eid Al Adha? Eid Al Adha – which means 'festival of the sacrifice' – is the latter of the two Eid holidays celebrated across the Arab world, coming after Eid Al Fitr. Eid Al Adha commemorates how the Prophet Ibrahim was asked by God in a dream to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a test of his faith. As with other religious holidays in the Emirates, it is a time for friends and family to gather, often over meals, and reflect on their lives and faith. It is customary for families who have the means to have a goat or sheep slaughtered and share the meat with relatives and the less privileged. Eid Al Adha in 2024 - in pictures
