No Rod, the Metro first section doesn't open until September.

They're working desperately for that Amir, having committed to the date publicly many times, but I think they're a bit behind the deadline! I saw a train test running along SZR elevated section today by Mall of the Emirates, but there's a lot of work still to do on the stations.

Very true Colin, financial squeeze has affected everything :-)

Not just the financial squeeze... just poor planning as well.
I'd be very impressed if they manage to fully launch the metro in September.

they will manage, too many V.I.P. and things involved. It must start 09/09/09.
Maybe not 100% like many times it happens when a new metro line start, but it will begin that day.

The contractors need to start operating on 09.09.09 or else they will be fined. I heard it will be 1,000,000 EAD per day!
But I suggest take a bus just outside the airport. Ask the driver which direction you are going. Most of the bus drivers are tourist friendly! Good luck!
