00:00I love Dubai metro because somehow I'm connected to it I can say because 9th September is the

00:06metro's birthday and 9th September is my birthday as well. The metro is so conveniently there

00:11I didn't feel the need to get a car. Currently we have a discussion in our room that we need to

00:17move somewhere nearby the metro station. I decided to like move to a place very close to the metro

00:23and ever since it's been amazing. Rough estimate 400 to 500 dirham price a month.

00:34Basically metro is the only option for so many people like me because I live behind Gujuman mall

00:41I have a car but I don't drive to my workplace because I don't get parking so it's very easy

00:46like for just 10 minutes I reach to my work and then you know we can just finish it off and then

00:51come back soon to our home so it's very easy I suggest people to use metro because then it will

00:57be less traffic on the roads less parking as well so it will be good for if everyone uses it. I use

01:05it for everything shopping going places going to work yeah I go by the metro as much as I can

01:12the metro is so conveniently there I didn't feel the need to get a car I don't need to worry about

01:18parking and you know it's always there if you need it. Currently we have a discussion in our

01:25room that we need to move somewhere nearby the metro station so we are planning to next month

01:31by next month we have we already have had all the plannings but we are next by next month we

01:36are going to move to Union nearby Union metro station which is more convenient by the metro

01:40because you don't have to do all the traffic and other things because my office is in Dubai

01:45so it's very convenient for me to travel on the metro. I was actually living in an area called

01:50international city and quite far from the metro so I usually use a taxi then I didn't come to the

01:56metro so it was quite difficult and I spent a lot of money coming and going and all that so I decided

02:02to like move to a place where it's closer to the metro station and ever since it's been amazing.

02:07Saved you a lot of money? Lots of money because I get to spend like times two of what I used to.

02:12How much money do you estimate you're saving every month now because you don't use a taxi

02:17because of the metro? How much money do you save? Well rough estimate 400 to 500 dirhams I save yeah

02:25because in back and forth I just spend 10 dirhams going 5 dirhams then going

02:31I mean going home 5 dirhams. So it's really helped you manage your expenses? Yes.
