why did it take so long to start the construction of the dubai metro?i mean, they've got shit loads of money and they KNEW that they need a underground transportation due to the exploding amount of cars driving around their streets.

They're sitting on the majority of the world's oil supply. That means gas is fucking cheap. They've probably got a car culture as bad as the Americans, but without the high gas prices.

they don't have the space for a massive car culture. cities don't really work that way.

Still, with gas as cheap as it is over there, they probably don't give a rat's ass about public transportation.

Well, when would you prefer them to have started building it? Dubai was barely a city worth mentioning even only 20 years ago. 40 years ago you could hardly call it a city at all.

Dubai's oil resources are fairly scarce compared to its larger neighbors. Their massive investments in infrastructure are being made because their leadership realizes that their supplies are finite and want something other than oil as the basis of their economy.

they should have known 10 years ago that their oil won't last forever.building ridiculous hotels and indoor skiing just won't cut it.a city of dubai's size just need public trabsportation without collapsing due to millions of cars.we alll know it and let's face it: those arabas are stupid in doing the righte things.

They knew *forty* years ago that their oil just wasn't going to cut it. That's when they started building themselves up. But at the time, Dubai was little more than a village. It's only been in the last 10-15 years that Dubai has gotten large enough to warrant any sort of major mass-transit system.

To see how fast Dubai has grown, look at this picture.
