Radio 2, which is basically the expat radio station of the UAE, does a pretty good job of updating the listening audience with road accidents, traffic jams, etc. Today they were talking about a massive traffic jam on the entire first level of the Mall of the Emirates parking garage, which by the way is massive.
Turns out they are testing the new ticket system for parking, all the major malls in Dubai will start charging for parking in September. It's connected with the brand new mass transit system (elevated trains) that will begin operating in Dubai on Sept. 8th. It's a big deal and supposedly will make getting around Dubai way easier.
The mall parking ticket system requires you get your ticket validated while you are in the mall. People were leaving the mall without validated tickets, no place to turn around when they got to the exit, and the gate wouldn't lift without the validation!!
Oh yeah, that one was really thought out!!!
