Forget buckets and mops — Dubai is using drones to keep metro stations squeaky clean and shiny
Dubai’s metro just got a futuristic makeover — meet the cleaning drones.
Dubai’s obsession with sleek tech continues — and now, even its metro stations are getting in on the action.
The RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) has kicked off a futuristic trial: using drones to scrub down the exteriors of metro and tram stations. Yes, really.
Partnering with Keolis MHI (the crew behind Dubai Metro and Tram operations), this next-gen cleaning method swaps elbow grease for propellers and precision.

The best part? These drone cleaners aren’t just about looking cool. They’re cutting down on water use, reducing the need for workers to hang from high places, and delivering that signature Dubai sparkle with way less effort.
The tech is still in testing mode, but early results suggest this could be the new normal — fast, clean, and very, very efficient.
So next time you’re zipping through the city on the metro, look up — your station might just be getting a drone-powered shine.
