Dubai: My Metro is the name of the campaign being launched by Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to educate people about the Dubai Metro project which is set to launch operation on September 9 this year.
My Metro aims to introduce the public to the services and facilities rendered by the Dubai Metro Project, which offers Dubai residents a highly sophisticated transit system. The RTA has awarded the marketing contract of the Dubai Metro to Saatchi & Saacthi, a US based leading, advertising, and marketing company.

Al Tayer said that RTA is all set to launch a comprehensive marketing campaign for Dubai Metro. “We are proud of tasking this campaign to one of the biggest advertising agencies in the globe, with 150 offices in 86 countries, employing over 6,000 people, and ranking among thebiggest 100 advertising companies worldwide,” he added.
“The RTA is keen to set this marketing campaign for the Dubai Metro in motion well ahead of the project operation. It will start this week and last for one year in three phases,” he said.
The phase I of the campaign focuses on project introduction in terms of launch timing, design, and general information.
