* The Ministry of Transport’s Public Bus Infrastructure Programme is one of the world’s most eco-friendly programmes
Qatar is heading steadily towards achieving the goal of shifting to renewable energy while making remarkable progress in all projects that are currently implemented to ensure environmental sustainability, HE the Minister of Transport Jassim Seif Ahmed al-Sulaiti has said.
Addressing the media yesterday during the inauguration of Al Sudan bus station, he said that the ministry is working on improving air quality in all public transit means and facilities within the framework of Qatar’s National Environment and Climate Change Strategy, thus bringing us one step closer to achieving the Qatar National Vision 2030 goals.
HE al-Sulaiti noted that the Ministry of Transport’s Public Bus Infrastructure Programme is one of the world’s most eco-friendly programmes, “laying the groundwork for a full switch to a transportation system that is powered by clean, electric energy, thus backing the country’s sustainable development requirements”.
He said that five more public transit bus stations will be inaugurated before the end of the year – at Lusail, Gharrafa, the Education City, Al Wakra, and the Industrial Area.
Two more stations – the Central West Bay and Msheireb – will be inaugurated in 2022, and all those facilities are equipped with electric public bus charging infrastructure.
"Inaugurating Al Sudan Bus Station today, and the next ones later, is especially significant as the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 nears, since the public transit network is a cornerstone for the success of that global event, providing a multimodal transportation system to give visitors an exceptional, safer, and smoother experience,” the minister added.
