A friend of ours sent the article below to Chris, it describes Dubai's train system. Chris currently uses this to get to and from work each day. There is also a metro station right near our hotel so we have used it to get around. (You have to have your residency visa before you can purchase or lease a car.) Taxis are everywhere and easy to get so that is another great way to get around the city. Driving here is something we don't mind waiting a little while on. One of the main roads (and the one our hotel is on) is 12 lanes and has the most car accidents in the world. People here drive crazy...I guess that is what happens when you take many different countries driving styles and combine them into one city. We will have to leave the Detroit road rage at home, obscene gestures can land you 6 months in jail! Plus, everyone gets lost...there is construction everywhere and drivers tend to use multiple lanes.
We have also seen some amazing cars in our short time here. About 30% of drivers are driving a luxury vehicle. (Luxury meaning $100,000+).
