This point shapefile represents the metro stations along the metro line in the city of Dubai as of 2017. A metro station is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight. It generally consists of a platform next to the track and a station building (depot) providing related services such as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single track main line, it usually has a passing loop to facilitate the traffic. The original dataset was created by Dubai Pulse and hosted on Bayanat.ae.
