A Fishy Business in Metro

Ever spotted a sign that looks like a fish playing ‘Not Allowed’ in a traffic symbol? You’ll find this curiosity just before stepping into the Palm Deira station, neighbor to Dubai’s bustling seafood market. Yes, that means just exactly what you’re thinking: carrying fish on the metro is strictly off-limits. It makes us wonder if Nemo took a wrong turn in his escape!

People’s reactions range from amusement to disbelief, but the sign’s real and stems from Dubai Metro’s strict rules. The only animals allowed to travel on those shiny rails are guide dogs. So, sorry, Flounder, no free rides here.
