==Location==
Business Bay station is located at the intersection of [[Sheikh Zayed Road]] and 35th Street, southwest of Dubai's historic centre. As its name suggests, the station serves the large [[Business Bay]], which borders [[Downtown Dubai]]. To the west of the station is the neighborhood of [[Al Wasl, Dubai|Al Wasl]]. The distance between Business Bay and [[Al Safa (Dubai Metro)|Al Safa]] station (formerly known as Noor Bank Metro Station) stations is among the longest in the system; as a result, station codes 27 and 28 have been reserved for future use.
==Station layout==
Like many stations on the Red Line, Business Bay lies on a viaduct paralleling the eastern side of [[Sheikh Zayed Road]]. It is categorized as a type 1 elevated station, indicating that the station's concourse is at ground level. Pedestrian access is aided by a skybridge across Sheikh Zayed Road to Al Wasl. A crossover to the west of the station allows reversals from both Rashidiya and Jumeirah Lakes Towers.
