Opened to the general public this morning, the world's largest driverless metro system takes to the tracks in Dubai. The National followed the first day of the Dubai Metro with live updates of news, pictures and video from our reporters on the ground. And we found out whether the Metro is quicker than driving, taking a taxi or a bus when four of our Arts & Life team took to the streets in a race around Dubai. Read how the event unfolded below.
