Looks like they plan to have the blue line extension ready to go in 2029 mentioned in the embedded video not the article.

The plan is to have 55% of the population within 800 meters of public transportation stations by 2040.

Blue line extension

A little bit old, but I always like to watch the video linked below: Youtube - Dubai Progress by MetroCucumber

    Please remind us of the cost of this extension; but in dead indentured labourers instead of dollars.

      There is no indentured labour system in the UAE. I know there were issues in the past. Hence the law changes.

      But maybe go look at the law reforms that has happened in the last decade and a half and the reforms that are ongoing.

      I could not find any metro construction deaths searching for it, but I don’t have any good information to give you regarding that.
