I'm surprised at the traffic levels in Dubai given the city's focus on building metro and a fairly decent public transportation system(road and water). What is missing out in this city? These guys have all the money and a free hand in implementing policy without any opposition.

Dubai's growth has been and continues to be mind-bogglingly fast. San Francisco and Vancouver saw their population grew by about 20% each since 2000. Dubai grew by over 150%. Current growth rates are about 5% year-on-year.

You can plan all you want, but it's hard for planning to keep up with Dubai.
