Giving further details to Khaleej Times, RTA said, "Dubai Metro services are fully operating on the Green Line in both directions and on the Red Line in both directions, including Enegry Metro Station."

The authority reopened three of the four rain-affected stations, including Onpassive, Equiti and Mashreq metro stations, ahead of schedule on May 19. Several teams worked around the clock to complete necessary safety checks before reopening.

Commuters heaved a sigh of relief after Onpassive, Equiti and Mashreq metro stations opened and all facilities worked efficiently.

During the closure, the Dubai RTA demonstrated its commitment to providing efficient transportation and operated feeder bus services between the affected stations.
