Transport Accessibility: Dubai Metro

When a transit system is built, it is planned in a way that it would connect the areas with highest populations and places who would use it the most. Looking at this, we look at Dubai Metro's accesibility on foot.

One of the stations on the route 2020 Extension of the Metro Network.

Why do we talk about walking convenience?

We talk about walking as it is very distance conscious, in other words, after a certain amount of walking, we will become tired but other modes such as driving, taking the bus or utilizing a taxi are not distance conscious, basically travel any distance without any problem.

Generally, 500 meters in every direction from the station center is considered the maximum walking limit as any more than that would become painful and another metro station might then become closer.

In this map, I have inserted a 500 Meter radius showing all places which can easily be accessed by directly walking between the place and the metro station.
