Nobody drives the Dubai Metro. Nobody ever has.

The system has been fully automated since it opened in 2009 — which means the front of the train has no cab. Just glass, and the track running out ahead of you.
That carriage is Gold Class. Double the fare, and the fare is small.
It runs past the Burj Khalifa, the Museum of the Future, the Marina.

The best view in the city isn't sold as a view at all.
