The Purple Line is one of the two lines of Dubai Metro network in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.The purple line will run between Dubai International Airport to Al Maktoum International Airport, along Al Khail Road[2]. Construction commenced in March 2009 and will be operational by 2012. It will have about eight stations on the route, three with check in facilities. However The Dubai Airports claimed that this was unfeasible as it did not pass through many localities. They however suggested opting for a "central terminal" similar to ones in the US where trains leave from inside the airport to the other airport with trains also leaving to the city. The RTA have taken this into consideration.
