It is one of two transfer stations between the two lines, the other being Union. Since it began service, over 15.611 million passengers have used BurJuman station, making it the second-busiest station of the Dubai Metro network.[1] ## Contents * 1 History * 2 Location * 3 Station layout * 3.1 Platform layout * 4 References * 5 External links ## History[edit] One of the first stations of the Dubai Metro, BurJuman opened as Khalid Bin Al Waleed (Arabic: خالد بن الوليد) on 9 September 2009 as part of the initial stretch of the Red Line from Rashidiya to Nakheel Harbour and Towers along with seven other intermediate stations.[2] On 30 December 2012, the station was renamed after the BurJuman shopping centre (located just outside Exit 3 of this station), which had become popularly used despite being unofficial.[3] ## Location[edit] BurJuman station is located in the historic centre of Dubai, below the BurJuman shopping centre, after which it is named. Specifically, it lies below the intersection of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street and Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road. It is the closest station to a number of consulates, including those to Canada, Egypt, India and the United Kingdom.[4] The station is also close to Al Seef (including a Marine Transport Station on Dubai Creek) and Karama.[5] ## Station layout[edit] Along with Union, BurJuman is one of only two interchange stations on the Dubai Metro, giving it an unconventional layout and among the largest in the system. The Red Line travels under Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street, crossing perpendicularly with the Green Line, which lies below Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road. The Red and Green Lines both utilise two side platforms with two platforms on differing levels. ### Platform layout[edit] Platform numbers were not assigned, but instead given names according to the direction of the train. This changed in 2020, where platforms in all stations were now numbered. Platform | Line | Towards | | Red Line Platform 3 | ■Red Line (Up) | Centrepoint 4 | ■Red Line (Down) | UAE Exchange, Expo 2020 Green Line Platform 1 | ■Green Line (Up) | Etisalat 2 | ■Green Line (Down) | Creek ## References[edit] 1. ^ Dubai Metro hits 213.354m ridership Archived 2016-03-03 at the Wayback Machine UAE Interact Retrieved 2012-12-30 2. ^ Dubai Metro opens today New Civil Engineer Retrieved 2012-12-30 3. ^ Danube, BurJuman hop onto the Dubai Metro Gulf News Retrieved 2012-12-30 4. ^ Train times and landmarks Archived November 1, 2013, at the Wayback Machine RTA Retrieved 2012-12-30 5. ^ "Dubai Metro Green Line".
