The quiet hustle-and-bustle as one smoothly rolls and sways in a sea of nations - every day.

Welcome to Metro Diaries.

“It happened one evening while we were having dinner with friends. Trixie thought of the idea and we realised that there is a possibility here as all of us experience using the rapid transit system and we have witnessed quite a few unforgettable moments there,” says Jomel Duran Reyes, in the UAE for the past decade, even as way back and upon arrival, his intention was only to stay briefly because he only “wanted a break from work and school.”

Trixie Danielle Balangao shares: “My rides are very personal to me. I think about many things. I even cry sometimes because certain emotions surface in those lull moments.”

“I also like observing people. People from all walks of life. The amused. The confused. The tired. The happy,” she muses.

These and more at the “Metro Diaries,” when the 2003-conceptualised 55-station Dubai Metro, under the directive of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, breathes-in-and-breathes-out in another realm.
