The front-page story of Riyadh metro is great news of residents of the city. Having seen the unimaginable development the city has undergone over the last three decades, I am eagerly looking forward to having a ride in the upcoming metro. We know the introduction of metro is going to change the entire landscape of the city and will provide a major boost to city’s transport system. Tit will surely ease the existing traffic congestion in the city. It is an accepted fact that at the very inception we are expected to bear up with minor inconveniences by way of excavations related to various construction works in connection with this ambitious and gigantic project. Let us express our sincere thanks to all those who initiated this project while congratulating the residents of Riyadh on being assured of this ‘gift’! — S.H. Moulana, Riyadh
