The Doha Metro will have 3 lines (Red, Green, Gold) opening in 2019 with 37 stations. It will revolutionize transportation in Doha, making trips on average 18 minutes faster. The metro will grow along with the city, expanding to over 130km of lines and over 60 additional stations. Each station will reflect Qatari heritage in its design. The Red Line runs 39km from south to north, the Green Line runs 22km east to west, and the Gold Line runs 14km east to west. The Lusail Light Rail will connect the new city of Lusail with 4 lines and 37 stations. Qatar Rail's long-distance passenger and freight rail network will connect major cities and industries

DOHA METRO 3 lines 3 minutes 107 600,000 37 stations 21 TBMs by 2019 tonnes of CO2 potentially saved passenger trips per day by 2021 currently tunnelling on average, between adjacent stations by 2019 The Doha Metro will, quite simply, revolutionise the way you move around Doha and its suburbs. When it first launches in 2019, most locations within the capital will be conveniently within reach without the hassles of traffic. For example, a trip from Msheireb to Qatar University currently takes 28 minutes by car. With the Doha Metro, it will be 10 minutes quicker with 1.9 kg of greenhouse gas saved. As Doha is a growing city, the Doha Metro will grow with it. It will be built over two phases: the first phase will see the Red, Gold, and Green lines opening in 2019, with 37 stations and 75 kilometres of revenue lines. The future phases involve the introduction of an additional line (Blue) and the expansion of the existing ones, with more than 60 additional stations and more than 130 kilometres of additional revenue lines. Msheireb Station will serve as the heart of the first phase, with the Red, Gold, and Green lines all running through it. Building a world-class, state-of-the-art metro network requires world-class, state- of-the-art methods. With most of the Doha Metro running underground, Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are being used to burrow beneath the capital, and for the most part, with no hint of their presence to the population. TBMs are the most efficient and environmentally-friendly way to tunnel and are in fact so important that traditionally, they are given names. So, in brief, what will the Doha Metro offer you? Convenience, reliability, and sustainable transport, and for Qatar, a project that meets the ambitions of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
Stations allow a unique opportunity to add some local flavour and personality to the Doha Metro. Therefore, all stations will be designed in a contemporary vaulted space concept; a concept that reflects on the heritage of the region by introducing open spaces that mimic traditional Bedouin tents. The design also has ornamental panel work that have a function beyondaestheticsastheyformthebackboneofadynamiclighting and ventilation system. Through the use of traditional elements of Islamic and local art, each station is a unique tribute to Qatari heritage with the dhow-inspired exteriors and the pearl-effect interiors. STATION DESIGN
18 stations 39 km in length from south to north 280,000 passenger trips per day by 2021 The Red Line, also known as the Coast Line, runs for 39 kilometres from Al Wakra in the south to Lusail in the north. The line also connects Hamad International Airport at Terminal 1 to the centre of the city. It has 18 stations; notable ones include West Bay, Katara, and Qatar University. The Legtaifiya Station will also allow you to transfer over to the Lusail Light Rail Transit, in addition to another interchange station between the metro and the tram called Lusail Central. The line offers a very convenient and reliable alternative to driving within the heart of the capital. A trip from the airport to Lusail, currently taking nearly an hour and a half at peak traffic time, will be a short 36 minute trip with the Doha Metro.

GREEN LINE The Green Line runs east from Al Mansoura to Al Riffa in the west. As it passes through Education City, the line is also known as the Education Line.

But how does one get around a state-of- the-art city? The answer: the state-of- the-art Lusail Light Rail Transit (LLRT) network, a tram-based system that will connect all the major points of interest in the city. A tram is designed to travel on streets, sharing roadspace with other traffic and pedestrians. Trams are much more efficient in terms of road usage - one vehicle replacing about 40 cars which take up a far larger area of road space. Tram systems are more integrated into the urban environment than conventional railways. In particular, stops are designed to be a part of the communities they serve rather than being physically separated from them. Trams are greener and cope better with crowds than buses. It is also the best use of urbanised space short of an underground metro system as it can handle more passengers than buses. Four lines (Red, Green, Purple, and Yellow) and 37 stations will make up the LLRT network, with two interchange stations at Legtaifiya and Lusail Central allowing passengers to continue on to the countrys capital via the Doha Metro.

Long distance rail lines not only offer a quick and safe mode of transport but also help in reducing carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. The long distance rail network is planned over a line length of 486 km and proposed to be developed in several phases to meet commitments made to the GCC and domestic passenger and freight demands. The long distance rail network consists of: Mixed (passenger and freight traffic) rail line from Doha to Saudi Arabia (GCC component) High speed passenger rail line from Doha to Bahrain Freight rail line from Mesaieed Port to Ras Laffan Mixed (passenger and freight traffic) rail line from Doha to Dukhan Mixed (passenger and freight traffic) rail line from Doha to Al Shamal
