My new job is in Dubai Internet City. Is it better to live in the Views/Greens or Dubai Marina? How long will I spend on the road during rush hours?

15 min either way, that's an easy commute

Depending on where you are in the Marina your commute will take you 15 mins 40 mins at the moment. Traffic is getting very bad at the moment due to roadworks and the RTA being complete muppets.

When the Marina mall opens I think the roads in the Marina will be crippled.

Greens is just across the street from DIC (it's only 200 meters by walk through a flyover/interchange), but you need to make long turns to cross by car. DIC to Greens, turn near Marina. Greens to DIC, take the bridge Barsha South to new Media City.

But if I were to choose, I would definitely choose Greens. Very nice community (greeneries, children park, pool, gym, BBQ area). There are not much greeneries in Marina or JBR area.
