One of the things I do not like about Dubai beside the humid summer weather is its Public Transportation. There are few buses plying around the city and you have to wait for hours to get one thats traveling the route of your destination chances if its a rush hour you will find your buses fill to the rafter so they will not take new passenger so you have to wait again. They don't have subway or Metro train yet at least for another year until the construction of its first Metro are completed. The best but expensive way to go around the city by public transport is the Taxi.

Aside from that there are a traditional mode of public transport here called the Abra (shown in photo above)its a small boat that ferry passengers from Bur Dubai to Deira across Dubai Creek. Got a chance to ride one after 2 years of stay courtesy of one weekend afternoon walk.

The photo above was shot using Lomo LCA loaded with Kodak BW400CN.
