Equiti is part of the Red Line network in Zone 2. The station is closely associated with Al Barsha and Sharaf DG. It works well as a starting point for routine commuting, short city trips, and onward transfers.
Equiti is on the Red Line and sits between Centrepoint and EXPO 2020. For many riders, this station is more useful when you know the surrounding area, likely exits, and the next two stops in each direction.
