The Metro is doing 818 mph, and still it's being overtaken by cars! Typical Dubai drivers!

Alright @wilkindubai the metro is not doing 818 mph as the maximum speed Metro drives due to its curvy track is like 80-110 kmh and no dobut drivers will overtake it. This video is clearly sped up by a computer program and is clearly mentioned. This is not the real speed of metro and it is very very slow and no way near 818 mph... more like 70 mph maximum and watis at a station for a very long time also... at least used to do in the begining and thereby completely waste of time! A car for the same journey will arrive in half the time!
