Dubai Metro's Onpassive station has been renamed Garmin Metro Station under a 10-year agreement. This change comes after Onpassive acquired the naming rights from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on January 11, 2023. The RTA announced the update will be implemented gradually, beginning in September 2026, to ensure a smooth transition for metro users.
The station, located on the Red Line between Equiti and Business Bay, serves commuters heading to Al Quoz Industrial area, Kite Beach, Oasis Mall, and Times Square Centre. It opened on May 15, 2010, initially named Noor Bank, then Al Safa in 2020, and now Garmin Metro Station. RTA's naming rights initiative, launched in 2009, has attracted global brands to Dubai Metro's Red and Green Lines.
Abdul Mohsen Kalbat, RTA's chief executive of the Rail Agency, highlighted the initiative's role in turning metro stations into high-value investments, contributing to the Dubai Economic Agenda. Clifton Pemble, Garmin's chief executive, expressed pride in collaborating with RTA and Amit Retail, Garmin's UAE distributor, to help people navigate with confidence and purpose.
