Garmin Station is renamed on the Red Line
Dubai Media Office reports that Mada Media has announced Garmin as the first global partner in its Dubai Metro Naming Rights initiative.
The station on Sheikh Zayed Road, previously known as Onpassive Station, has been renamed Garmin Station. Mada Media says it is authorised to oversee naming rights agreements for public transport stations under its concession with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
The announcement follows a wider naming-rights programme linked to Hypermedia, which is developing and commercialising Dubai Metro station naming rights.
At the official ceremony, representatives from the RTA Rail Agency, Mada Media, Garmin and UAE distributor AMIT Retail were present, alongside officials from W Group Holding, which owns Hypermedia.
Mada Media and RTA highlighted the partnership as an example of public-private collaboration and as part of Dubai’s effort to maximise the value of strategic assets through global brand participation.
