A modern train with the best from foreign trains
A metro train is 39 meters long and 2.65 meters wide. Its maximum speed is 80 kilometers per hour, and with stops, the average speed through the city is 40 kilometers per hour. The metro trains operate without drivers, and the fully automatic system can run with as little as 1 ½ minutes between each train during rush hours.
306 passengers and room for wheels
There is space for 306 passengers in a metro train, divided into 72 seats and 234 standing spaces. The number of seats reflect that most journeys are of a shorter duration.
The trains are designed with a large flex area (the area with folding seats). The flex area is suitable for passengers in wheelchairs and passengers with strollers and bicycles.
The Metro is Designed Based on Three Key Words: Functionality, Simplicity, and clear mode of expression.
A Design That is Easy to Understand
Passengers have been at the center of the design process. Consideration for passengers in wheelchairs or with strollers has been a high priority. And the design also accommodates high passenger flows in the trains.
The train is designed to be easy to maintain and clean. As far as possible, the train has been thoughtfully designed in modules, so that worn parts can be easily replaced.
It is open, spacious, and the floor is kept clear. Panels are designed without sharp corners and protrusions, and the seats are mounted on the walls.
The Metro Trains Meet the Strictest Safety Requirements
Safety
All of the train's critical systems are double secured. If a function fails or shuts down, a backup will activate. All trains have 24-hour video surveillance, and there are emergency call points where passengers can contact the metro control room.
The metro features a fully automated door closing system. If something is caught, the door closing stops immediately, and the train will not move until the doors are closed and locked.
Fire Safety
Both the trains and the stations are constructed from fire-resistant materials and materials that only produce minimal and non-toxic smoke if ignited. Fire safety has been a high priority in the development of the train and its design.
